EdX online learning platform source codes published

On June 1, access was made to the repositories of the source codes of the online learning platform edX, founded by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University. Now you can not only study a huge number of courses on sites such as edx.org or coursera.org , but also create your own portal for distance education. Looks like Moodle has a competitor.



The platform is written mainly in Python, and Ruby and NodeJS are also used here and there. The code is distributed under the AGPL license . Here are some of the available repositories.

edx-platform

The main repository that contains the code of the learning management system (LMS, Learning Management System), as well as course development tools.

')

Xblock

The repository with the code of the new architecture for building courses. Now edX uses XModules components, which will be replaced with XBlock in the coming months. Documentation available.

EASE (Enhanced AI Scoring Engine)

A library for classifying texts using machine learning. Useful, for example, to evaluate student essays.

Xserver

System for automatic verification of programs sent by students.



The code for the rest of the edX platform can be found here .
