Description
Open edX is an open-source learning management system and course authoring platform originally developed by Harvard and MIT in 2012. Now stewarded by Axim Collaborative, a nonprofit founded by its original creators, it powers online learning for over 140 million learners across 196 countries.
Deployed by universities (Stanford, Arizona State University), enterprises (Google, Microsoft, IBM, AWS, McKinsey), government and international organizations (NASA, IMF, Amnesty International), and training providers worldwide, it supports online campuses, instructor-led programs, MOOCs, professional certifications, and corporate training at any scale.
Released under AGPLv3 and Apache 2.0 with no licensing fees, the platform is built on Python/Django, containerized via Docker, deployed using Tutor, and supports Kubernetes for production environments.
The project follows a biannual named release cycle, delivering two major community upgrades each year. The latest stable release is Verawood (June 2026), the 22nd named release. Each release brings new features, security updates, and community contributions.
Key capabilities include built-in course authoring via Studio, XBlock architecture for custom interactive content, LTI 1.3 Advantage Complete certification, SCORM and xAPI support, native iOS and Android apps, analytics powered by Apache Superset and ClickHouse, eCommerce, SAML/OAuth/OIDC single sign-on, and REST APIs.
A global network of verified service providers across Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas offers professional hosting, implementation, customization, and support through the official Open edX Marketplace.
Description
OpenSCORM hosts and delivers SCORM courses on a flat monthly price. Training teams upload a SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 or xAPI package once, then reach learners by link or by dispatching the course into a client's LMS, with completions tracked in one place either way. Each plan covers a set number of active learners per billing period, from $30 to $850 a month, and there are no per-registration charges or overage fees at any tier. A free tier with 1 course and up to 10 users, you included, never expires and needs no credit card. SAML single sign-on comes with the Small plan and above. The browser web client is open source under the GNU AGPL v3 on GitHub; the platform is a hosted service and is not offered for self-hosting. Runs on Microsoft Azure in the United States.
