[Proposal] Improved Audio XBlock #488
Description
Type of Request
Product Proposal (larger features)
Feature Description
Some universities and institutions incorporate audio features to enhance their course content. Currently, in Open edX, there’s no built-in way to display audio tracks directly in a course. There is an official Audio XBlock in the Open edX organisation on Github (https://github.com/openedx/AudioXBlock/) that can be installed, however it lacks important features, such as timed captions support for accessibility.
We at OpenCraft have been maintaining an Audio XBlock with more functionality, and we plan to contribute this functionality to the Open edX Audio XBlock. We also propose including the Open edX Audio XBlock in the base install of the Open edX platform, so institutions no longer need to install a plugin to make it work.
