The Open edX platform is a free, open-source online learning platform stewarded by Axim Collaborative, a nonprofit founded by Harvard and MIT. The Open edX project is supported by a global community of institutions, companies, and independent contributors. The Open edX platform includes both a course authoring environment (Open edX Studio) and a learner-facing learning management system (LMS). Organizations deploy their own Open edX platform instance to create, deliver, and manage online courses and training programs at scale.
