Course export in open format

Development
1

Question: if I understand correctly, the current export of a course is limited to one (tar based) format. Correct?

At my university we use OpenEdx for our MOOC’s. However we also have a site with contents of the MOOCs, published as open courseware.
At this stage we are doing a lot of manual work to download and upload materials.
Is there a possibility to export Edx in a common format, such as Common Cartridge or Scorm? If not, are there plans for this? Or did someone create a tool to convert the OpenEdx export format to a more open / common format?
We would love to extend our coursewareplatform so that it can read a common format and quickly import course structure and content.

Thanks in advance for your insights!

Hello @rploggen,

I don’t see anything that converts Open edX export file (tar-based which is often called OLX) to Common Cartridge (CC) but the opposite of it is available here:

You can take reference to this and try to implement your own converter.

@rploggen did you ever find a solution?

No, waiting for the teak release notes… hope to know more in June.

This was posted earlier in other thread:

For Teak, we are shipping CC Export. There are roadmap items for CC Import that need to be worked on:

[Proposal]
Enabling Common Cartridge Course Archive Imports via the Open edX Import Page · Issue #420 · openedx/platform-roadmap · GitHub

Thank you!

Thanks! I came across that. I was hoping for something a little lighter, as we are going to be sun-setting our platform and want to provide the content as a CC. Guess we will need to upgrade to get that functionality.

Just wanted to follow up that for Teak a CC Import feature was added, but not the CC Export functionality, and it looks like there is no plans on the roadmap to support such a thing.

Thanks for the update.
