Hello,

I am the founder of Open Popular University whose mission is to educate using informal resources. I am interested in operating this site in the edx platform. As a non-profit not making any profit and not receiving any donations, I am looking for help from  Edx as an organization to fulfill the mission of Open Popular University.

1) I would like to know the process of operating Open Popular University on the Edx platform
2) I am looking for partners who can work as web developer with knowledge in analytics, content developer and marketing (including social media)

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Nate Aune

Hi Yves, 

You might try reaching out directly to edX, Inc. to see if they would consider the Open Popular University as a edX Member. See more info here: https://www.edx.org/schools-partners#membership 

Or if you want to run a whitelabeled Open edX site under your own brand, there are many Open edX hosting providers who can help you get a site up and running quickly, provide ongoing hosting, monitoring and maintenance of the site, and take care of software upgrades as new releases of Open edX come out. 

My company Appsembler offers a 30 day trial that lets you launch a fully branded Open edX site, and test all the Open edX functionality to see if it will work for your needs. https://appsembler.com/tahoe/trial

Upon further inspection of your site (http://openpu.wikidot.com), it appears that your courses are all links to external courses hosted by other organizations. Do you have any of your own original content, or is Open Popular University more of a directory of resources?

Nate
