CCX

Custom Courses on edX

• in production now on edge.edx.org and edx.org
• still waiting for analytics
• working on gradebook improvements
• scheduling fixes
• better visibility for instructors

CCX is a stealth feature now, but it's available on edge.edx.org and edx.org. So if someone wants to re-use one of your MOOCs now, you don't need to copy it, you don't need to re-run. You just need to turn on the CCX flag and then add them as a coach. We do have plans to monetize this, so it's worth talking to Lisa Schwallie about it first.
