OLX (open learning XML) is a flexible system that can be used to create Open edX
courses in many ways. While there is no best way to structure courses in all
situations, there are best practices that help make an OLX course easier to
create and maintain.

This section uses the `olx_example_course`_ as an example of how to create an
OLX course.  The files for the `olx_example_course`_ are stored in GitHub as a
companion reference to this guide.

These topics examine the overall structure of the olx-example course and how the
courseware is defined.
