RoadmapComparative Perspective @BeDjango
What is your perspective?
Open edX and Moodle are two educative platforms which have been
designed for different objectives and needs. In other words, they cover
different educational approaches and business models. What is/are yours?
VS
RoadmapComparative Perspective @BeDjango
Self-Definition: The Open edX platform is a
free--and open source--course management
system (CMS) that was originally developed
by edX. The Open edX platform is used all
over the world to host Massive Open Online
Courses (MOOCs) as well as smaller classes
and training modules.
Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is an online course aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web.
VS
Self-Definition: Moodle is a free, online
Learning Management system enabling
educators to create their own private
website filled with dynamic courses that
extend learning, anytime, anywhere.
RoadmapComparative Perspective @BeDjango
Wait a Moment!
Do you really understand what is MOOC?
RoadmapEducational approaches @BeDjango
What is an approach?
It is a set of principles, beliefs, or ideas about the nature of learning which is
translated into the classroom.
RoadmapEducational approaches @BeDjango
Functionalities
How important are the functionalities when they are enough to implement
your educational approaches, methods and techniques?

Open edX Vs Moodle
Both platforms are able to cover the needs for the different existing
approaches and their characteristics, however we are going to focus on those
characteristics where the differences can appear:
● Student-centered
● Content-centered
● Teacher-centered
● Massive-access

Functionality is not so important!
Both platforms are plenty of functionalities, activities, plugins and huge
communities supporting them. You will always be able to use them to cover
your needs, but choose the platform according to the needs of your
educational approaches, and also, your business model.
VS
RoadmapComparative Perspective @BeDjango
It was borned in 2012 and it was created to evolve the digital philosophy of teaching and learning by implementing MOOC.(2012 edX -> 2014 Open edX)
It is mature enough to take part of the most important universities in the world and has a huge and important community behind.
If you want to get massive capabilities better choose this platform. Massive is usually incompatible with individualized attention.
VS
It was borned first in 2002, and it was created
for more general purpose educational
approaches.
It is a very mature platform with a “large”
tradition.
It enables a more individualized attention to
your students.
