and above all,
want to host data in Switzerland.

8. we decided
to manage our own mooc platform.

9. we
« forked » (basically duplicated) moodle
simplified the interface
automated some processes
developped an adaptive quizz activity
called it moodecx.

10. who can use it
every moodle manager.
just deploy moodec on your server and
play.

11. do we host your moocs on our moodec?
you have to deploy your own moodec
that’s why it is called moodecx.

12. is it free?
of course!
moodecx follows the same philosophy as moodle.
do we maintain moodecx?
yes we do, huge work but we are brave folks!

13. Can it be used other than for moocs, to host regular courses?
yes but
you will miss these million cool activities that make moodle so special.

14. What does it look like ?
It looks cool!

19. want to sign up for our moocs?

wish to download moodecx ? (and try to make it crash) (impossible, remember it is based on moodle)
