Resources for Open edX Learners#
In a Course#
If you have a question about something you encounter in an Open edX course, try these options for getting an answer.
Note
If you find an error or mistake in a course, contact the course staff by adding a post in the course discussions.
Check the Course page in the course. Course teams use this page to post updates about the course, which can include explanations about course content, reminders about when graded assignments are due, or announcements for upcoming events or milestones.
Look for an “Introduction”, “Overview”, or “Welcome” section in the course content. In the first section in the course, course teams often include general information about how the course works and what you can expect, and also what they expect from you, in the first section in the course.
Participate in the course discussions. Other learners might be able to answer your question, or might have the same question themselves. If you encounter an unfamiliar word, phrase, or abbreviation, such as “finger exercise” or “board work”, search for it on the Discussion page, or post a question about it yourself. Your comments and questions give the course team useful feedback for improving the course.
Investigate other resources. Some courses have a wiki, which can be a good source of information. Outside of the course, a course-specific social media (ex: Facebook group) or messaging community (ex: Discord) might be available for learners to share information.
