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

Karen DeJarnette
Program Manager at Fast Lane Consulting and Education, Fastlane US
The Raccoon Gang Support team has worked together with me to help resolve issues with our customer's learners. They have educated me and listened to me. We are working on resolving questions quicker and ensuring they are addressed completely with a plan moving forward in case the question is raised by another learner in the future.

Kudos to Maryna for her dedication despite not feeling well earlier during the week to deliver the requested changes. Maryna and Tamara have done a great job to understand our requirements and made appropriate project adjustments to cater to the few unexpected surprises found. The development team is very responsive to the issues reported and fixes are done in a timely manner.
