Open edX Community
Open edX is the open source platform that powers edX.org. Through our commitment to the open source vision, Open edX code is freely available to the community. Institutions and companies 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. Our goal is to build a thriving worldwide community of educators, learners, and technologists who share innovative solutions to benefit students everywhere. We invite you to explore Open edX and participate in our growing movement.
