Thanks @aali for your post. Yes, it’s a repeated feedback that Open edX, due to missing few key features, doesn’t win enough market share when it comes to hybrid learning.

I think it’s a problem that’s not being resolved in timely manner. Open edX is more than 13 years old, and there’s no clear way to pivot from a MOOC-only style of learning. MOOC is great, but it’s not the only way people learn. There’s micro-learning like Doulingo, Experiential Learning like CodeAcademy and Treehouse, Hybrid Classroom learning like Blackboard and Moodle.

I’d like to call out a [great talk by Faqir and Regis in 2024 conference for on-campus learning](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5NDI1D1HOk), which in my opion, didn’t receive enough support.

> Have you checked out our Biz Dev working group? [https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/COMM/pages/4404543516/BizDev+Working+Group](https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/COMM/pages/4404543516/BizDev+Working+Group)

@sarina is there anything new since that talk that we missed since the talk? I’ve looked up  
Confluence and didn’t see any fundmential change.

I’ll add a shameless plug for [my nomination](https://discuss.openedx.org/t/2025-community-toc-election-candidate-nominations/16466/3), I completely agree with the need for On-Campus use as a core supported feature.
