STUDIO is the content management system or authoring platform for creating and configuring Courses and course libraries in the Open edX platform.
Studio is the place where you’d go to author your course, create and built course content, add and organize courseware, add and configure activities, import external content, upload course files and configure course policies and settings. It allows multiple users to work even simultaneously on the same course.
It is a separate application, but it uses the same authentication as the LMS (same email and password), but only course authors (users with specific permissions for one or more course) need to log in to studio. If a learner accidentally logs in to STUDIO, he’ll reach the STUDIO home page, but nothing more.
Studio can be supported in multiple languages.
This article will describe some of its main features / components.
