New post: WGU Commits to the Open edX LMS WGU takes a seat at the table and will drive much of Open edX's future development while expanding that system's usage The questions this year noted the usage of Open edX at hundreds of organizations, but the reason it doesn’t show up more prominently in our graphics is that seldom is Open edX used as the primary LMS for a college or university that is the core metric we track. Much more common is the usage at edX itself or the usage for specific programs, for example MIT xPro, and at numerous workforce development programs. In fact, if you look at that list of known Open edX sites, the majority are vocational or workforce training. But now there is a university making Open edX its primary LMS, and it is a big one. Western Governors University (WGU), with almost a quarter of a million students, has committed to use Open edX for the vast majority of its courses. https://lnkd.in/g9KNpgfZ

Or, a solution to hit the market in a way that the Helix/Ellucian competency-based LMS wanted … with better content creation tools and portability. 🤞

So much potential, and I'm excited to see WGU and the Open edX community unlock it! An LMS for CBE delivery is a great project, IMO, and aligns with the "access" mission that drew me and many technologists to edX in the first place.
