Introduction
The EdX Learner's Guide provides help for learners who have questions about topics including how to navigate through a course, how to complete course materials, and how to receive certificates.
The process for creating or updating documentation in this guide is the process outlined on the Creating and Updating Documentation page.
Note There is some overlap between the EdX Learner's Guide and the FAQ that the student support team maintains. An open question is how best to serve the learner audience without duplicating information.
Different Platform Versions
The feature sets for edX.org and Open edX learners are slightly different. We use shared files and conditional text to produce three different versions of the EdX Learner's Guide.
- EdX Learner's Guide, for edx.org learners
- Open edX Learner's Guide, for learners in Open edX courses
Files for these guides are located in the following folders.
Guide Name | Source Files |
---|---|
EdX Learner's Guide | edx-documentation/en-us/students |
Open edX Learner's Guide | edx-documentation/en-us/open_edx_students |
As of November 2016, any edx.org learner information that also pertains to the Open edX learner's guide will be included in the Open edX guide, but any information that pertains exclusively to the Open edX learner's guide will not be included unless the doc team receives a request to include it and has the time to create documentation.
