What is Open edX technology?
CampusSpainX is an educational digital experience based on Open edX technology
Open edx is the second largest platform for MOOCs, it belongs to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
The mission of Open edX is to increase access to high quality education for all, everywhere
Open edX courses consist of learning sequences. Each sequence consists of different learning resources such as videos, readings, discussion forums, infographics, and evaluation or interaction exercises such as multiple-choice evaluations, open-ended questions, etc. Participants must complete these activities in order to achieve the required score and thus, if necessary, obtain the certificate of approval
There are two types of course modalities: courses at “your own pace” and courses at the “teacher’s pace”
