What is Aspects?

Aspects is an optional implementation of analytics for the Open edX LMS. It is the combined solution of Cairn by Overhang.io and the OARS project developed by Axim Collaborative with a huge amount of help from the Open edX community. Primarily it is intended to be a "batteries included" set of configurations and plugins to combine 3rd party tools into a powerful and flexible system for learner analytics.

What isn't Aspects?

A deployable application in-and-of itself, it helps deploy other applications together using a Tutor plugin and customizations to the Open edX platform to connect well-supported, existing, third party applications.

Status

Aspects is in development by efforts from Axim Collaborative and Open edX community contributors. For more information, see:
