Open edX overview:

Built to showcase the latest in learning sciences and instructional design, the Open edX learner platform is driven by our community of developers, technology providers, research teams, and users.

The Open edX platform is built with the best open source tools and frameworks including Ubuntu Linux, docker, the django framework, and ReactJS. You can run the platform on your preferred infrastructure whether that is cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud or openstack. You can also run the platform on premises if you prefer.


The Open edX platform is a modular, service oriented platform. Key components of the platform are the LMS, the Learner Portal, the course authoring tool, Studio, and an administrative portal. The platform provides the critical features you need for authoring and delivering courses online. The platform is extensible to support your usecases via APIs and industry standards like LTI.
