 How do Open edX Events work?
 ----------------------------
 
 Open edX Events are implemented using Django signals, which provide a way to

 Open edX Events closely follow the Django signal pattern, allowing developers to

+leverage their existing knowledge of the framework.
 
 The lifecycle of an Open edX Event can be summarized as follows:
 
-1. A service emits an Open edX Event (Open edX specific Django signal) triggered by a specific action or event. The event data includes information about the event, such as the event name, timestamp, and any additional metadata.
-2. Registered signal handlers listening for the event are called in response to the signal being emitted.
-3. The signal handler performs additional processing or trigger other actions based on the event data.

+3. The signal handler performs additional processing or triggers other actions based on the event data.
 4. The event is considered complete once all registered signal handlers have executed.
 
 Here is an example of how that might look like with an existing event:
 
 1. A user enrolls in a course, `triggering the COURSE_ENROLLMENT_CREATED event`_. This event includes information about the user, course, and enrollment details.
 2. A `signal handler listening`_ for the ``COURSE_ENROLLMENT_CREATED`` event is called and processes the event data.
-3. The signal handler sends a notification to the user confirming their enrollment in the course.
+3. The signal handler sends a notification to the user's email confirming their enrollment in the course.
 4. The event is considered complete once the signal handler has finished processing the event.
