Innovating Learning with the Open edX LMS: Competency-Based Engagement

Join us for a special two-part event designed for educators, course authors, site operators, and anyone passionate about improving online education with the Open edX platform. We’ll explore how to measure true student understanding using engagement analytics, and showcase what’s new in the newly launched Open edX Ulmo Release.

Presentation 1: The Future of Education: Measuring Competencies Through Engagement

This session will show how education can move beyond simple attendance tracking to understanding what students truly learn. We’ll demonstrate how interactive video, student engagement, and AI-driven analysis, combined with Bloom’s taxonomy, provide clear insight into learners’ skills and competencies all within the Open edX LMS.

By encouraging participation through in-video discussions, peer review, interactive quizzes and more, educators can both engage students and gather meaningful evidence of their understanding and progress. We will showcase how you can create and measure engagement, track performance in real time, and deliver data-driven insights that help institutions improve curricula and better prepare students for the job market. These capabilities fit naturally within the Open edX platform, integrated directly into the courses you already deliver.
