" summary

University of Queensland joins the edX consortium in 2013 and implements LTI integration to connect external tools, works mainly on Python Django apps, and contributes code back to the edx platform via GitHub. A modified leaderboard open-response xblock gets built and deployed to surface peer-marking standings. A separate learning analytics REST API and dashboard ingest clickstreams and DB dumps to measure engagement. Course enrollments hit tens of thousands (66k → ~75k; peak course 128k) and edx reports 4M+ users.
