Next steps:
Create a list of missing features and functionality. Get granular. There is a starter doc that already includes the requirements from the ASU proposal, the Spanish proposal. Please add your own additions, filling in columns A, B and C. Everyone will fill in their own ideas asynchronously and we will use the doc at the next meeting to begin a conversation on a prioritization framework.
...
2. Jenna to start a draft Product Concept Doc to circulate prior to the next meeting. This doc intended to guide/inform feature prioritization, etc.
3. We agreed to meet again at the end of July. This meeting will be open to anyone who is interested in advancing work on this particular use case. Meeting details will be circulated on the forums and here.
Meeting Notes:
Context from Anant:
Open edX started from the use case of learning at scale
Now we have an opportunity to create a platform that is viable for campus use AND learning at scale and that is open source
The delta between where we are today for on campus use and where we need to be isn’t that large
...
The reality for many universities is that they use Open edX as one LMS solution among many. For example, SUNY Buffalo uses Open edx to deliver continuing adult education, MITx similar. The needs here are around better integration with other LMS solutions.
Questions and answers (maybe this should be separate document)
Are there currently any educational institutions (college or university), that are using Open edX and their only LMS?
This document sounds like Open edX wants to compete with the major players like Canvas, D2L and Blackboard. Not sure If I get that right from the objective or mission statement
