Who are contributors to Torus?
Torus is a collaborative effort by OLI, ETX, KTH, Inspark, Unicon, WyeWorks, GoGo, IMG Play, and many individual developers, learning engineers, and researchers.
Why is it named Torus?
The name comes from the Tokamak reactor—powerful, scalable, and deceptively simple. Torus is built to scale OLI’s success with a lean, maintainable system.
I’m teaching at Carnegie Mellon University. What support is available to me?
CMU instructors can get direct support from the Eberly Center. Contact their team or visit the center for more information.
How do I teach directly using OLI?
No LMS? No problem. After you create your course, you’ll get a unique course key to share with your students. They’ll use that key to register through this student page and join your class.
