[EN] What changes with regard to videos will apply in the new version of Stud.IP?

Playlists

In the upcoming version of Stud.IP, videos will be organised into playlists, which will significantly improve navigation and clarity within a course.

In the current version of Stud.IP, videos are assigned to an Opencast series. An Opencast series can be linked to several courses in Stud.IP. Videos are permanently associated with an Opencast series, which means that the permissions and publication / visibility of videos are largely determined by this assignment.

In the upcoming version of Stud.IP, videos will be organised into playlists within a Stud.IP course. A video can appear in several playlists without being moved or duplicated in Opencast. The order, visibility and sharing settings can be managed for each playlist.

Consequently, in the current version of Stud.IP, series are Opencast-based, relatively fixed containers, whilst playlists in the upcoming version of Stud.IP are Stud.IP-based, more flexible compilations of videos.
