Oppia grinds forward on learner UX polish, study guides, and contributor tooling.

◆Current state
Oppia's GitHub releases are dense, incremental version bumps mixing learner-facing fixes with creator-tooling work, much of it from GSoC contributors. The recent line (3.4.x into 3.5.x) shows steady refinement: a redesigned learner dashboard shipped, revision cards were replaced by study guides in production, and voiceover, accessibility, and search bugs get continuous attention.
◆Where it's heading
The direction is maturation, not reinvention — Oppia is hardening its existing learning platform, improving the study-guide and exploration-player experience, and building out the certificate/assessment surface (a dashboard skeleton appears in 3.5.2). Work is broad and community-driven rather than pointed at one big bet.
◆Prediction
Expect the certificate/assessment dashboard to fill in over coming releases, alongside the ongoing cadence of learner-UX fixes and creator-tooling improvements.

    Oppia 3.5.1: skill-search fix, broken-image alerts

    Version 3.5.1 fixes a skill-search filtering bug and adds real-time alerts for misspelled SVG tags so creators don't upload broken images. Small but genuine quality-of-life gains for creators.

    Oppia 3.5.0: study guides replace revision cards

    Version 3.5.0 flips study guides to production — replacing revision cards with sectioned learning material — and gates the unfinished review-tests feature. The study-guide launch is the substantive move in this window.
