Open edX custom feature development by Raccoon Gang

OPEN EDX® PLATFORM CUSTOM FEATURE DEVELOPMENT

We firmly believe Open edX platform to be the most advanced and prominent eLearning platform nowadays. However, the standard Open edX instance cannot satisfy each and every request an LMS administrator might have. That is why custom feature development is essential, as it allows tailoring the platform to your needs as well as adding specific functionality required by your students and content authors.

Why would an Open edX instance need custom features?

1 Tracking student's performance helps determine and remove bottlenecks in course content. Custom tracking features can be added to the course and will inform the authors of the issues.

2 Push notifications, interactive bot conversations and easy-to-comprehend micro courses help increase user engagement. Making the content interactive decreases the course attrition rate.

3 Course-specific XBlocks allow presenting of a very specific content - like musical notes, DNA sequences, ballistics, or anything that can be portrayed in 2 or 3d - in an easy and interactive way.

The custom features we provide using edX® XBlock SDK

1 Integration with 3rd party systems (authorisation, reporting, time tracking, video conferencing to name a few)

2 New problem types

3 Custom courseware content type (think math formula synced with graph, and this is animated)

4 Gamification systems

5 Adaptive learning approaches

6 External graders for various programming languages & databases

There are as many custom feature requests for Open edX platform as there are companies providing such MOOC’s. Raccoon Gang has a deep understanding of such problems and vast experience in augmenting the Open edX platform with the help of custom feature development.
