Welcome to the Open edX 2019 Conference, hosted by UC San Diego! This year’s theme is all about collaborative learning, and how Open edX enables technologists, educators and learners to collaborate, innovate, and move the state of teaching and learning forward.
The MOOC movement has been a catalyst for the creation of digital-learning materials, with over 100 institutions in the edX consortium creating nearly 500,000 individual videos, problems, and pages since 2012. Through a new system called DART (Digital Assets for Reuse in Teaching), we are unbundling edX content and other digital content sources so that resources are searchable and reusable in the residential LMS at Harvard. Through DART, all Harvard instructors and students can now search, browse, and receive recommendations for edX content as well as Harvard channels from YouTube, SoundCloud, and Kaltura.We will highlight use cases and live demo the most relevant features, while outlining our vision for how content can be more broadly utilized across universities.
