Omnipresent education-From Harvard University and MIT
EdX is a nonprofit online initiative created by founding partners Harvard and MIT and composed of dozens of leading global institutions, the xConsortium. EdX offers interactive online courses and MOOCs from the world’s best universities and institutions.
Open edX is the open source platform that powers edX courses. Through commitment to the open source vision, edX code is freely available to the community. Institutions can host their own instances of Open edX and offer their own classes. Educators can extend the platform to build learning tools that precisely meet their needs. And developers can contribute new features to the Open edX platform.
Goal is to build a thriving worldwide community of educators and technologists who share innovative solutions to benefit students everywhere. Invite you to explore Open edX and participate in our growing movement.(ref:https://open.edx.org/about-open-edx)
