Open edX

Platform powering massive open online courses

About Open edX

Open edX is the learning platform behind edX that universities and companies use to create and deliver online courses at scale. It is typically installed on Linux servers or containers and administered through configuration files, a CLI, or a built-in web interface. It also plays well alongside other self-hosted tools, since open interfaces and standard protocols make integrations and automation much easier to build.
