Open EDX

We offer the organizational learning solution based on Open edX – the technology originally developed by Harvard and MIT to reinvent online learning. The platform currently serves over 55 million learners and is implemented in Fortune 500 companies, governments, and leading academic institutions.

The solution offers a "Learning First" approach with an emphasis on user experience, interactive video, and a future-ready architecture.

1. Video-First Learner Experience and Linear Progression

Unlike traditional content management systems, Open edX is built around the modern Courseware concept:

• Structured Learning Sequence: Content is presented in a linear and logical sequence (Learning Sequence), which prevents the learner from getting lost and encourages high completion rates.
• Smart Video Player: The most advanced video player in the learning world, including automatic scrollable and searchable transcripts, playback speed control, and downloading for offline viewing.
• Focus Mode: A distraction-free interface that hides side menus during learning to allow maximum concentration on the content.

2. Technological Architecture: Micro-Frontends & Cloud Native

The greatest advantage of the system is its modern technological foundation:

• Micro-Frontends (MFE) Technology: The user interface is based on independent React components, allowing for rapid updates of specific interface parts.
• Infinite Scalability: Support for Kubernetes and Docker for automatic scaling according to the number of users.
• Python & Django Core: The core of the system is written in leading open-source languages, ensuring security and easy integration.

3. Advanced Learning Components (XBlocks Architecture)

The XBlocks architecture allows for unprecedented pedagogical flexibility. Every component in a course is a replaceable "block."

4. Editing, Knowledge Management, and Pedagogical Flexibility (Studio)

Knowledge management in the system is performed using Studio: a separate and powerful workspace designed for instructional designers and content creators.

• Visual Drag & Drop Interface: Course building is done intuitively, without the need for coding knowledge, while viewing the results in real-time (WYSIWYG).
• Hierarchical Course Tree (Taxonomy): Knowledge organization in a rigid and clear structure of Section > Sub-section > Unit, ensuring consistent logical order throughout the organization.
• Configuration and Version Management (OLX & Git): Unique to Open edX. Courses are saved in an open textual format (Open Learning XML). This allows for managing course content within Version Control systems (like GitHub), performing backups, and duplicating complex structures easily.
• Cohort-Specific Content: The ability to display different content units within the same course to different user groups (e.g., an advanced exercise for managers and a basic exercise for new employees – in the same course).
• Content Drip: The option to set automatic exposure dates for sections, or to require the completion of a section only after the learner has successfully passed the previous one (Prerequisite Gating).

5. Accessibility and Inclusion

6. Big Data-based Analytics

The system provides deep insights into the learning process:

• Learning Events (Event Tracking): Documentation of a data stream (Event Log) for every action: pausing a video, changing speed, and answer attempts.
• Export to Data Warehouses: Information is saved in JSON format optimized for export to organizational BI systems (such as Snowflake, BigQuery, or Tableau).

7. Ecosystem Extensions

• E-commerce: Full commercial management, coupons, and clearing.
• Credentials Service: Issuing secure, shareable digital certificates.
