MyLA-2022.02.01 Release Notes

Overview

This release includes the option to pull data for MyLA from the Unizin Data Platform (UDP) or the Unizin Data Warehouse (UDW). The release also includes improvements to security and minor bug fixes

New & Improved

  • Update the MyLA cron queries and configuration options to get Canvas data from the UDP (#489)
  • Improve the cron query to handle courses that do not yet have Canvas data available. These courses will be skipped in the cron and the last updated date will remain null until the Canvas data is available. (#1327)
  • Improve security by not storing user's full names in the MyLA database. Instead get the name from the LTI launch to use in MyLA. (#1344)
  • Improve the readability and navigation of the README file and update content (#661 & #719)
  • Improvements to the cron query (#827, #1428, & #1443)

Fixes

  • Fix the logic on the Resources Accessed view to include events only from users with a StudentEnrollment type (#764)
  • Fix a bug that left the course field null for a user in the user table (#1435)
  • Fix a bug that displayed an assignment score when a quiz had both automated and manual scoring and the manual scoring was not completed and the grade was not released. (#1435)
  • Fix a bug that caused a failure of the MyLA Administrator option "View on Site" to see MyLA for a course (#1411)

Configuration & Operations Changes

  • Allow for environment variable override of env.hjson values (#787)
  • Update loader-utils from 2.0.3 to 2.0.4 (#1458)
  • Update django from 3.2.15 to 3.2.16 (#1450)
  • Update LTI pylti1p3 library to 1.12.1 (#1447)
  • Switch mysql-server in docker-compose.ym. to mysql (#1446)
  • Update d3 to version 7 (#1367)

Configuration updates needed for release:

  • Set "CRON_QUERY_FILE": "/code/config/cron_udp.hjson"
  • Set "DATA_WAREHOUSE" JSON object with UDP connection strings
  • If using Kaltura Caliper events, update is needed for the user_login_name field. Please check the query detail as documented in this MyLA wiki page
