eXeLearning vs Oppia: at a glance
What is eXeLearning?
eXeLearning rebuilds on Bun and Elysia as 4.0 marches toward release.
eXeLearning, the open-source learning-content authoring tool, is finishing its 4.0 cycle — a ground-up backend rewrite on Elysia, Bun, and Kysely — now at rc3 after a beta series. Recent candidates add host integrations (WordPress, Moodle, Omeka-S), accessibility in exports, and richer iDevices.
What is Oppia?
Oppia rolls out study guides and multilingual voiceover across its learner experience.
Oppia, the open-source interactive-lesson platform, is shipping a steady 3.4.x-to-3.5.x train focused on learner experience: the rollout of 'study guides' (replacing revision cards), a redesigned learner dashboard, multi-classroom navigation, and voiceover tooling keyed to language and accent.

eXeLearning rebuilds on Bun and Elysia as 4.0 marches toward release.
◆ Current state
eXeLearning, the open-source learning-content authoring tool, is finishing its 4.0 cycle — a ground-up backend rewrite on Elysia, Bun, and Kysely — now at rc3 after a beta series. Recent candidates add host integrations (WordPress, Moodle, Omeka-S), accessibility in exports, and richer iDevices.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is modernization: a maintainable TypeScript/Bun stack, embeddable theming for host platforms, and accessibility and asset-security hardening ahead of a 4.0 stable release.
◆ Prediction
Expect 4.0.0 stable to follow rc3 shortly, with host-integration theming and accessibility improvements as headline items.

◆ Current state

◆ Where it's heading
Direction is deepening the structured-learning surface (study guides, worked examples, practice sessions) and broadening multilingual reach (voiceover, translation workflow) — incremental, learner-centric polish on a mature platform.
◆ Prediction
Expect study guides to keep expanding (worked examples, concept cards) and further translation and voiceover tooling in upcoming 3.5.x releases.
