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

You all are absolute rockstars! The thanks goes to you all for all of your incredible work. I can’t tell you how much we appreciate it!
Laurel Ozersky
Learning Solutions Designer, ACTNext
I want to thank Raccoon Gang, especially Managers Viktoriia and Yurii, and their teams. ACT is currently working on two big projects led by these teams and both teams are doing a wonderful job to keep our deliverables on track. I know many Raccoons are used to working from home already but even still, the current quarantine provides added challenges to everyone. I (and my ACT co-workers) deeply appreciate the hard work from both RG teams. Thank you!!
