Ask HN: open source e-learning platform?

1 points by iLikeCookies 13y ago ↗ HN

I need to choose open-source e-learning platform like Coursera/Udacity/Edx. I looked at Edx source code but it looks like very complicated system with lots of subprojects. I need something simpler and flexible. Same with Khanacademy. Source code of Coursera and Udacity not available.

Or it is simpler to write it from scratch?

These are complicated software packages, wrapped around web-2.0 services (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.)

You should write down what you need for starters and see what can be implemented in some CMS, although a RoR app might be the easier way to go.
