The Facebook Blog

The initial version of the Courses application was created by Facebook to give you as much functionality as possible. As of today, we're turning off our version of Courses and have decided to turn this over to the developer community and let you – our users – decide which Courses application works best for you.

In many ways, our developer community is the best suited to create the applications that help people connect, track, and collaborate with their teachers, professors, and classmates. Many of our developers are in school and have used some kind of collaboration software. Their experiences make them the ideal creators of useful education applications.

There are already a few applications ready to help you with all your needs. Course List is a bit more focused on high school, and Courses is more for college students.



Dave Morin, Senior Platform Manager at Facebook, is excited to see developers starting where Facebook started—in school.
