    +

    In addition to the primary task of building infrastructure the Devops team supports the developers in a variety of other contexts, including helping with desktop development environments if required.

    LEARNING SCIENCES ENGINEER

    +

    In 2012, edX reinvented education. In 2013, the edX learning sciences team is charged with reinventing education, again. The goal of the team is to prototype and develop technologies which will radically change the way students learn and instructors teach. We will engage in projects in learning analytics, crowdsourced content development, intelligent tutoring, as well as radical changes to the ways course content is structured. We are looking to opportunistically build a small (3 person), fast-moving team capable of rapidly bringing advanced development projects to prototype and to market. All members of the team must be spectacular software engineers capable of working in or adapting to dynamic, duck typed, functional languages (Python and JavaScript). In addition, we are looking for some combination of:

    +
      +
    • Deep expertise in mathematics, and in particular, advanced linear algebra, machine learning, big data, psychometrics, and probability.
      • +
    • UX design. Capable of envisioning user interface for software that does things that have never been done before, and bringing them through to market. Skills should be broad and range the full gamut: graphic design, UX, HTML5, basic JavaScript, and CSS.
      • +
    • Interest and experience in both research and practice of education, cognitive science, and related fields.
      • +
    • Core backend experience (Python, Django, MongoDB, SQL)
      • +
    • Background in social networks and social network analysis (both social science and mathematics) is desirable as well.
      • +
    +

    More than anything, we’re looking for spectacular people capable of very rapidly building things which have never been built before. We’re capable of providing both traditional employment, and potentially, in partnership with MIT, more academic opportunities.

    Stanford University to Collaborate with edX on Development of Non-Profit Open Source edX Platform

    +
    +
    +

    edX Learning Platform to be open source and available on June 1

    + +

    CAMBRIDGE, MA and STANFORD, CA – April 3, 2013 – + +Stanford University and edX, the not-for-profit online learning enterprise founded by Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), today announced their collaboration to advance the development of edX’s open source learning platform and provide free and open online learning tools for institutions around the world.

    + +

    As part of this announcement, edX will release the source code for its entire online learning platform on June 1, 2013. In support of that move, Stanford will integrate features of its existing Class2Go platform into the edX platform, use the integration as an internal platform for online coursework for on-campus and distance learners, and work collaboratively with edX and other institutions to further develop the edX platform.

    + +

    “This collaboration brings together two leaders in online education in a common effort to ensure that the world’s universities have the strongest possible not-for-profit, open source platform available to them,” said John Mitchell, vice provost for online learning at Stanford University. “A not-for-profit, open source platform will help universities experiment with different ways to produce and share content, fostering continued innovation through a vibrant community of contributors.”

    + +

    EdX and Stanford will collaborate along with others around the globe on the ongoing development and refinement of the edX online learning platform. As of June 1, developers everywhere will be able to freely access the source code of the edX learning platform, including code for its Learning Management System (LMS); Studio, a course authoring tool; xBlock, an application programming interface (API) for integrating third-party learning objects; and machine grading API’s. EdX will support and nurture the community of developers contributing to the enhancement of the edX platform by providing a rich environment for developer collaboration as well as technical and process guidelines to facilitate developer contributions.

    + +

    “It has been our vision to offer our platform as open source since edX’s founding by Harvard and MIT,” stated Anant Agarwal, president of edX. “We are now realizing that vision, and I am pleased to welcome Stanford University, one of the world’s leading institutions of higher education, to further this global open source solution. I want to acknowledge the key role played by our X Consortium member UC Berkeley, which was instrumental in fostering this collaboration. We believe the edX platform—the Linux of learning—will benefit from all the world’s institutions and communities.”

    + +

    EdX is pursuing an open source vision to enhance access to higher education for the entire world. One of the chief benefits of massive open online courses (MOOCs) is that they bring together a tremendously diverse student body to learn with and from each other. EdX has chosen to extend that perspective to its learning platform as well, knowing that drawing upon the global community of developers is an effective route to both transform and deliver the world’s best and most accessible online and blended learning experience.

    + +

    MOOCs and innovative online teaching approaches on college campuses, such as the “flipped classroom,” use web environments that support interactive video, online discussion, social/cohort interaction, assessment and other functions. Open source online learning platforms will allow universities to develop their own delivery methods, partner with other universities and institutions as they choose, collect data, and control branding of their educational material. Further developing online opportunities through open source technology is a key objective of the partnership between edX and Stanford.

    + +

    Stanford will continue to provide a range of platforms for its instructors to choose from in hosting their online coursework, including continued partnerships with Coursera and other providers. The university will focus its ongoing platform development efforts on the new platform, combining key features from the Class2Go open source platform with the open source edX code base.

    + +

    The edX learning platform source code, as well as platform developments from Stanford, edX and other contributors, will be available on June 1, 2013 and can be accessed from the edX Platform Repository located at https://github.com/edX.
