At the Open edX Conference 2024 in Stellenbosch, we had the opportunity to present “A Deep Dive Into the Open edX Platform’s Competitive Standing & Future Enhancements.” This session was a key moment for gathering valuable feedback aimed at improving the platform. Among the most highly prioritized requests from the audience and the community were the development of a robust AI strategy and the redesign of the core architecture to facilitate easier deployment and configuration.
In addition to these priorities, it was emphasized that decision-making should be guided by various community and not community stakeholders, including the new WG-BizDev, AXIM Collaborative, the WG-Product, and other relevant teams. This collaborative approach will ensure that the Open edX platform remains competitive on a global scale, stays aligned with emerging trends, and continues to enhance user experience and drive broader adoption.
The future of the Open edX platform is to solidify its position as a leading Learning Management System (LMS) in the global education market.
Purpose: The Biz Dev Working Group serves to bridge the Open edX community and the global market, aligning platform development with market needs, expanding adoption, and identifying & creating sustainable revenue streams.
