What Richie brings you
An LMS-agnostic education portal
Your course catalog can be synchronized with one or more LMS instances running different kinds of software, such as Open edX or Moodle. Richie is built to aggregate it all for your users.
An editor back-office
All the content in Richie is meant to be created and updated by regular editors, not software engineers. As it is based on Django CMS, you get a rich editor interface along with Richie.
Advanced access rights and moderation
From CMS content structured objects like organizations, courses, and categories, everything is managed through comprehensive access rights. Those can be based on individual user or tied to organizations.
A multilingual website
Richie itself is already available in more than one language, and you can add yours by talking to us. All the content can be added and managed in as many languages as you need.
An extensible platform
Richie is offered as a Django application (and adjoining NPM packaged). You can install it as a third-party app to build your own learning platform with Django.
