Overview

What Open edX Is

Open edX is open source software for building and delivering online courses. Its platform is written in Python and JavaScript and makes heavy use of the Django framework, which is why our Python team works on it. It includes Studio, the authoring environment for course teams, and the learner-facing LMS, and it is released under the GNU AGPL v3 licence.

Open edX is a trademark of its owner. TechBella Solutions is an independent company and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Open edX project.

Keeping It Current

Plan around named releases.

We test upgrades on staging, keep backups, and use the Tutor documentation as our deployment reference. See also our website maintenance service.
