With Reliance’s recent efforts in making a more powerful digital India through the creation of a powerful 4G network, Reliance Jio, we were enlisted to help built the education platform which is one of the key verticals being launched.

Reliance Jio is a complex project with multiple integrations and customizations. We are limited as to details that can be shared, however some broad features include: Video Conferencing, Payment systems, Multi-tenancy, Advanced SCORM support, Mobile app development, etc.

When users are learning a language, or have accessibility needs, it’s important for them to be able to transcribe their speech. For this use-case, Perpetual created a Voice Recognizer xBlock which can be introduced in courseware, for example after a language pronunciation section, where learners can practice and correct their speech.

This xBlock has been open-sourced and made available on the list of Open edX xBlocks:https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/display/COMM/XBlocks+Directory

SCORM and Open edX compatibility is widely discussed however it is not often demonstrated on a working Open edX instance. A client approached us to implement SCORM within Open edX, so we attempted to integrate the default Open edX SCORM xBlock (https://github.com/ihowson/tincan-xblock) on the latest Dogwood release.

We found that it did not work (since the xModuleversion was upgraded on Open edX), so we implemented a fix to get this compatible with Dogwood and satisfy our client’s needs, and contributed the source code for the fix back to the main SCORM xBlock.

Books That Grow is a personalized eBook reading platform, in which each book has multiple levels that can be adjusted depending on the level of the reader.

Perpetual Learning built the entire platform including back-end, front-end and mobile experience. We are in the process of packaging the reader as an xBlockand hosting the service on Open edX.

Books That Grow gained national recognition, winning several awards and wide press coverage, as well as a USD $250K innovation award from Verizon.

• Based on market demand and the success of our project Books That Grow, we are in the process of developing a proprietary personalized learning extension to Open edX

• This is planned to be a generic personalized learning solution, when implemented in Open edX will learn about the student’s progress and serve up relevant courseware.

• This will be available in Fall 2016 as an xBlock along with some customizations to Open edX

While Dogwood with Otto has better support for Paypal, we did this customization on the Open edX Birch release which supported Cybersource as the default eCommerce gateway. Hence we customized the eCommerce flow to support Paypal.
