Open Learning ToolsOpen source learning analytics · olt.academy
Every learning moment,
measured and understood.
A unified, open source suite of seven learning tools — readings, video, documents, flashcards, quizzes, coding environments, and AI tutoring — that captures rich behavioral data across every learning surface, under one student identity.
The Problem
Students learn across Khan Academy, Google Docs, Quizlet, Canvas, and a dozen other apps — each siloing its own behavioral data behind a proprietary API, or not capturing it at all. Educational AI researchers are left with thin, fragmented signals.
OLT is a hosted suite of open source learning tools, instrumented end-to-end and purpose-built to give researchers the rich, unified learning data that educational AI needs.
The Platform
Seven open source tools.
One coherent learning record.
Hypothesis
Perusall-style annotation for textbooks and readings
PeerTube
YouTube-style instructional video hosting and engagement
CryptPad
Google Docs-style collaboration on documents and slides
Scholarsome
Quizlet-style flashcard practice
H5P
Kahoot-style interactive quizzes
code-server
GitHub Codespaces-style coding in the browser
LibreChat
ChatGPT-style AI tutoring
Every interaction across all seven tools flows into a single learning record — attributed to one student, in one open standard xAPI.
