Data project update

Faqir Bilal

  • Understand who is using Open edX platform, what their use cases are

  • Have a lot of data points, now looking to have data visualizations to make sense of the data

  • 4k+ organizations! data includes country of HQ, which version of the software they’re using, how many courses they have (if the website is publicly available), and more

  • edly is tracking this info monthly with help of custom scripts to scrape info from sites

  • Some stats:

    • 0.97% adoption for Olive - although many sites we can’t tell version

    • 148 countries represented

    • 54 languages

  • Upcoming: Work on making a public dashboard, and new scraper for more data

  • Call to action: Please make recommendations about useful visualizations, anything you’d like to see, websites or info that would be useful to scrape

    • Offer input - Faqir Bilal will share a public version of this spreadsheet for us to give input and comments on dashboard design and what example data looks like

Some background:

  • The purpose of this project is to provide a comprehensive view of the organizations using Open edX, including their location, engagement level, technical information, and sector/subsector. And so one of the goals is that by understanding how the platform is being used, we can identify potential areas of focus for the product and better serve the needs of users/learners.

  • The scope of this project is quite broad - we've gathered data from over 4,500 organizations using Open edX, and we've organized the data into different categories to help us make sense of it all. I should mention that this project is still a work in progress, but we're excited about the insights we've already gained and the potential for further analysis. We'll be constantly updating the data to ensure it's up-to-date and valuable.

Here's how can you help/contribute:

  1. Please take look at the dashboard skeleton for v1 of this project, and propose any visualizations or useful analysis that we should include as part of our standard reports (Please see the attached PDF)

2. Are there are any other data points or insights that we should be tracking? Feel free to share your ideas directly in the thread below (Please see the post at the bottom of this document to get a sense of what we've covered so far)

        • Do a Q&A
