Keynote
Mitch Resnick
教育家，技术专家和Scratch的开发者。
演讲主题为“给普通人的一个机会：通过项目、同伴、激情、娱乐来培养创新”。
在这份报告中，我将讨论帮助学生发展为创造性思想家的策略，基于项目、同伴、激情、娱乐的框架。我将借鉴的例子包括我在麻省理工学院媒体实验室研究小组组织的两个项目：Scratch网上社区（scratch.mit.edu）和学习创造性学习在线课程。
Jeff Jaffe
Jeff Jaffe，万维网联盟（W3C）的首席执行官。
演讲主题为“推动采纳开放网络标准”。
万维网联盟（W3C）在超过20年前由Web的发明者Tim Berners-Lee创建，确保万维网的长期增长。在他的主题演讲中，Jeff博士将说明为什么开放的网络标准对于网络的成功、使网络成为共享知识的自由，开放和无障碍环境是至关重要的。已被使用的一种机制，是直接从W3C提供这些标准的教育。这已经成为一个路径，从W3DevCampus培训计划扩大到了非常成功的推出了W3C在EDX的课程“从W3C了解HTML5”的X系列课程。
Speakers
部署和开发Open edX平台
- OpenStack和edX / Adolfo Brandes and Florian Haas
在OpenStack中运行Open edX，在实验室环境中按需提供给学生使用。https://open.edx.org/blog/spotlight-adolfo-brandes-and-florian-haas
- UQx澳大利亚昆士兰大学的务实发展课程 / Andrew Dekker and John Zornig
讨论UQx团队在过去18个月所进行的开发，包括edX平台的实际限制、如何在平台内开发新的工具、如何利用这个平台创造最好的体验。我们将详细介绍开发解决方案的技术和工艺并提出建议。
- Life in the Avant-Garde / Regis Behmo
我们遵循edX的主分支，另一方面我们的基础设施有很大的不同，特别是用于存储。我们如何设法跟上上游分支，同时保持我们的理智？在这次演讲中，我们将介绍我们的内部部署过程中的技巧。
- 在飞行的时候建造飞机 – 迁移现有MOOC到EDX / Mike Bifulco, Andrew Miller, Jeremy Osborn, and Michael Bingham-Hawk
在过去的一年中，Aquent公司的设计师MOOC平台Gymnasium已由第三方的SaaS平台迁移到Open edX。在这次演讲中，我们将讨论我们的迁移 – 包括需求收集，主题和edX的定制，数以千计的现有学生档案的迁移，创造edX课程，建立生产部署环境，托管合作伙伴的生命周期。
- 配置入门 / Feanil Patel
Open edX使用ansible进行配置管理。本演讲介绍配置仓库的概述，介绍我们ansible角色的布局和组织，对如何使用它们的一些例子。

- Open edX与校园系统的整合 / Beth Porter, Braden MacDonald, and Phil MacGachey
Open edX平台的两个主要优点在于支持互操作的校园系统，即机构身份提供者和学习管理系统。通过使用SAML（Security Assertion Markup Language）和Shibboleth我们现在允许学生使用他们学校认证来登录Open edX。使用LTI（Learning Tools Interoperability），我们也允许教师平滑地融入Open edX教学内容到Canvas和Blackboard的课程。使用这些开放式的教育标准，我们加入了服务提供商的大型社区，在这里允许学习者使用在线学习资源来丰富自己的校园为基础的体验。在这次演讲中，我们将讨论这些平台方面的能力，以及用于设计，验证和实现功能的过程。
- 为了可用性开发 / Mark Sadeki
edX致力于使Open edX平台成为一个完全可用的平台，这也是我们的目标，价值观，愿景和使命，使我们的合作伙伴和社区为每个人创造高质量的教育经验。edX可用协调员Mark Sadecki将谈论正在进行的努力，使平台符合WCAG 2.0 AA标准（以及这个的含义），并且还将指出Open edX贡献者可能会遇到常见的可访问性挑战的细节。

数据分析
ANALYSE: A learning analytics extension for Open edX
Pedro Jose Munoz Merino
This talk aims at presenting ANALYSE, a learning analytics tool developed for Open edX at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. We will present the defined and implemented higher level indicators as transformation of low level data in ANALYSE as well as the correspondent visualizations. In addition, we will present ways of how to use ANALYSE by teachers and students in order to improve the learning process. You can find a video demo of ANALYSE on YouTube.
Digging through the data – MoocCzar
Andrew Dekker and John Zornig
This talk discusses the research data package that edX provides to partners, and how this data can be explored to learn more about the students taking our courses. To assist in this, we have developed a platform – MoocCzar, an open source project which helps edX teams uncover and disseminate data gathered from edX courses. The talk discusses the development and future of MoocCzar, and how this learning data can help influence future course design and development.
Analytics from edX
edX
EdX will present the current state and future roadmap of Insights. We will also highlight how the open community has contributed to its success and how you can too.
Real Time Analytics Using ELK
Felipe Montoya
This talk presents an application of the opensource ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana) to deliver actionable insights in real time from edX tracking log records.
Open edX实施中的课程
Leveraging Open Edx for Corporate Training
Cathy Herbert
Today’s corporate learner needs access to ondemand training delivered in easily consumable chunks – anytime, anywhere. They also need a forum to “talk to the instructor.” Open Edx provides the perfect platform for a blended training model which gives users what they need and better utilizes your training resources. (often product managers, or functional leaders). Targeted Sales Training for internal employees and partners – while traditional testing methods are effective, Edx gives us the ability to run “Best in Class” sales competitions (based on videos submitted by the employee/partner). This is huge – the system gives us the ability to have Sales professionals practice their pitch and get direct feedback from their manager and team members.
Deploying SPOCs in a University Institution with Open edX: What Do We Need?
Jose A. Ruiperez-Valiente
The presentation try to describe the experience of creating and exploiting of SPOCs at UC3M for use to supplement classroom training (flipping classroom) using the Open edX platform. In the presentation we will try various aspects like customizing the platform to adapt to our environment (for example LDAP support) and additional software tools which we have had to be developed to facilitate the whole process management and content creation, which takes associated with the creation of a MOOCs / SPOCs. In addition we have developed several XBlocks to include new features to our courses. We finally will treat aspects that an organization has to take into account to successfully approach these projects.
Building Successful Open edX Instructors from Non-Faculty Domain Experts
Julie Mullen, Lauren Edwards, and Vijay Gadepally
Traditionally, the knowledge held by professional engineers, scientists and researchers has only been accessible to a small number of co-workers. The open edX platform enables MIT Lincoln Laboratory to share the knowledge of world-class domain experts through technical education courses highlighting theory and its use in practice. Building successful online courses requires that technical professionals, with limited teaching experience, develop a teaching mindset. In this presentation we discuss the approaches used to help non-faculty instructors gain an awareness of the open edX andragogy and the path followed to transition from presenter to educational guide.
Navigating Barriers to Implementation of an International Medical Training Course in Developing Nations
Nicholus Warstadt, Silvia Vaca, and Feroze Naina
Clubfoot is a congenital birth deformity easily and effectively treatable by the low-resource requiring and non-surgical Ponseti method, but knowledge of this technique has yet to disseminate to rural hospitals and clinics in developing countries. Current training practices are dominated by non-profit organizations investing extensive time, resources, and man-power to host centralized, annual trainings. Here, we describe our experience in working with these same non-profit organizations to develop and implement a standardized digital training through the Open edX platform, including barriers of technology, multi-instance administration, and the need for content customization.
Online Geospatial Education in Africa through the Open edX Platform: Possibilities and Limitations
Thomas Ballatore
Here, we discuss the particular challenges of translating a set of successful onsite geospatial training courses into a set of Open edX online courses for learners in Africa. We present work done in 14 countries (Algeria, Burundi, Chad, Cote d’Ivoire, DR Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Morocco, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe) about user experience with current edX courses as well as experience and lessons for planned Open edX courses on geospatial topics.
课程创作和扩展Open edX平台
MIT Learning Object Repository for Education
Ferdi Alimadhi
We will discuss our new project for managing courseware content across courses, disciplines and runs via our LORE project (https://github.com/mitodl/lore). LORE allows you to import Open edX courses and be paired with meta data from analytics such as the average grade, or number of attempts. From there you can use it to find, categorize, and mix and match problems or whole sections of different courses to share and re-use existing content in new ways.
Semantic Tagging Using Asides in Studio
Cole Shaw and Ross Strader
In this talk, we will discuss one of the first implementations of XBlock Asides, which we use to semantically tag problems in edX courses. Both MIT and the Open Learning Initiative at Stanford will present on their respective use cases and show how Asides can enhance the student and instructor experiences.
Open edX and Adaptive Learning
Ed Daciuk
Adaptive learning. You’ve heard the hype; now learn how to deliver on its promise and potential. Focussing on the intersection of Open edX and adaptive learning technology, this discussion will delve into recent developments that allows the Open edX platform to provide adaptive learning pathways to users. We will discuss the emerging landscape of adaptive technology, illustrate the use cases for integrating adaptive learning into the Open edX platform, and show how a major international corporation is integrating third party solutions with Open edX to develop cutting edge, scalable courses with personalized learning pathways for traditionally static areas like corporate training and regulatory compliance.
