Open edX® is an advanced open source technology to deliver online learning. Created by Harvard and MIT and used by millions worldwide.

Open edX™ is an online platform for creating, delivering, and analyzing online courses. It is the open source platform that powers the edx.org initiative but also thousands of other online learning initiatives across the world. The Open edX world is complex, rich and diverse.

Open edX components

The Open edX platform far from a monolithic application has a number of different applications that are generally referred to under the umbrella name “Open edX”, than can or not be integrated into an online learning initiative.

To create and run online courses, you’ll need at least to know the two basic applications:

The Open edX LMS

This is the Learning Management System, where learners sign up for the site and log in to enroll and access and complete their courses. Instructors also use the Open edX LMS in order to access some management tools such as course stats, manual enrollments, gradebook management, course reports, certificates configuration, email, and more.

Open edX Studio

This is the content management system where authors create, configure, and manage their courses and course libraries. As authors can add and organize courseware, add and configure activities, upload course files, and configure course policies and settings.
