Why it matters
Keep learners productive during travel or low-connectivity windows while you offer offline access on any Open edX release without server-side changes.
Our mobile-first offline mode caches course pages, videos, and transcripts exactly as published. It stays independent from the LMS, so it works across Open edX versions. Offline mode is read-only: quizzes, discussions, and any server-dependent logic pause until the learner reconnects.
Choose your path
Compare the official Open edX® mobile app with the Raccoongang® enhanced stack. Every module builds on the base app and adds engagement, monetization, and control.
