[Open-education] Testing edx as MOOC platform for OKFN chapters and groups

Fri Sep 26 12:44:35 UTC 2014

Hi Alberto!

If you’re interested in open alternatives to EdX, we’ve been working with P2PU to create remixable cMOOCs. Or, if you’re creating content on open education, you could always post within our existing MOOC machines (P2PU, Creative Commons and Mozilla all work together in this realm). Naturally they aren’t WYSIWYG platforms like EdX (we don’t, uh, have funding like that), but they are build using open web technologies, housed under nice CC licenses and available for remixing via Github and your friendly community open sourcers :)

I would also encourage you to check out the currently running #CCourses (http://connectedcourses.org) and this post:http://www.zythepsary.com/techie/teachtheweb-so-you-want-to-run-a-cmooc/ for tips and tricks on using the openness of the Web for massive open online courses. 

Best,
Laura
