Open edX 2019

Learn how to ensure that learners who have disabilities are fully included and can take full advantage of the unique benefits of online learning. We’ll discuss the needs of learners with disabilities, share practical suggestions for implementing accessible courses with common content types on the Open edX platform, and provide tips for supporting learners who have disabilities in high-enrollment Open edX courses.

These workshops will teach you how to build your own Open edX-based mobile app. We will also discuss current ongoing Mobile projects within edX and throughout the Open edX Mobile community. From building and running your own Open edX-based apps for iOS and Android to setting up an automated test environment, these workshops will show you the ins and outs of running an Open edX app.

Overview Anyone interested in designing and developing an online course is invited to attend the instructional design summit. This full-day summit will cover everything from theory and application of best practices to learning science in online course design. Participants will have the opportunity to apply those models to the development and alignment of learning goals, assessments, and content delivery. Learn tips and strategies for using Studio to build your own course in Open edX. Come prepared with a laptop, an idea for one module of an online course to focus on during the summit, and 1-3 main learner takeaways for that module.
Agenda The summit will start with a discussion of backward course design and student-centered learning. During the morning from 9 am - 12 pm, you will have opportunities to develop and refine your course learning objectives, develop ways to describe your course to others and develop your course and module outline.
In the afternoon from 1:30-4:30 pm, you will get to build the module that you have designed. We will focus on designing and building assessments and ways to deliver content. We will discuss how to design and implement effective and engaging assessments in your module. We will also discuss how to best present content to reach your learning objectives.
The summit will feature short presentations, workshop time, and consultation with peers, summit leaders, and guest presenters. The tentative schedule is as follows. More detailed information will be provided at the summit.

Learn how to get Open edX up and running smoothly and quickly. Our finest community members will lead workshops on running Open edX. The morning will focus on Docker-based devstack operation and creating your own push-button process, and the afternoon will feature a new distribution from IBM designed for ease of use.

9:00am - 12:15pm: Open edX Production-Ready in 10 Steps
This workshop will provide you with 10 steps for setting up a small single-server instance of Open edX for production use. We will also discuss the differences between the sandbox installation described in the official documentation and a true production installation.

1:30 - 3:00pm: Deploying Open edX in Production using Docker and Kubernetes
Learn how to deploy and manage your Open edX instance in Kubernetes using Docker. This workshop will guide you step-by-step through how to deploy your own Open edX instance on Kubernetes. The Cognitive Class team will also share what they’ve learned over the years about running Open edX on Docker and about experiences with Kubernetes for the Open edX free trial.
3:15 - 5:00pm: Installfest
Get your Open edX operation working! TAs will be on hand to help guide you through your installation and configuration.

Have you ever felt constrained by the problem types Open edX allows? Expanding beyond these problem types can be complicated, typically requiring significant coding knowledge and server infrastructure. In this workshop, we will introduce the MITx Grading Library, which requires little to no coding knowledge, and runs on any Open edX server. The library includes many features, including ordered/unordered lists and sublists, multiple correct answers, partial credit, and feedback messages. Course authors will develop sample problems as they learn how to implement the Grading Library in their own courses.

This workshop will provide a basis for creating your own custom applications on top of the Open edX platform. We’ll offer insight into how edX is building its latest micro-frontends such as the Enterprise Admin Portal, Credentials, and Journals, all of which started with create-edx-react-app.
