How Pearson and edunext® Redefined Global Learning with Open edX

The Global Classroom, The Complex Puzzle

Imagine a world where education transcends borders, where knowledge is accessible to everyone, everywhere. Pearson, a global leader in education, envisioned this future. But they faced a complex puzzle: 

 

  • How to bridge the digital divide and deliver personalized, engaging learning experiences at scale?
  • How to significantly improve third-party certification preparation?
  • How to overcome the technical challenges of customizing and extending the Open edX platform to meet their unique business needs and drive growth in courses and students?

A Vision for Innovation, A Partnership for Transformation

Pearson sought to leverage the power of the Open edX® solution to create a flexible, scalable learning platform. They needed a partner who could not only provide technical expertise but also understand their global vision. In 2020, they chose edunext, recognizing their deep understanding of Open edX® and their commitment to innovation.

  • Data Synchronization: Achieving seamless data synchronization with external platforms and Pearson’s CRM, ensuring course content was readily available.
  • Feature Management: Managing and developing specific features, including custom course management and prerequisites, to enhance the Open edX® learning platform.

Edunext helped build an Institution portal for Pearson’s partners to manage instructors, students and courses, and an Operations Portal for Pearson VUE admins to manage institutions, licenses, and enrollments.
