The project is still in early stages but we think we can contribute in areas like user experience, dev experience, accessibility, features & AI.

For example Collaboration can be great for teachers who want to collaborate live on documents (just like Google Docs), a Blocks-based editor (like Notion) would mean unlimited content possibilities, AI search can help students grasp notions easily..

Providing a better developer experience for people that want to develop on top of learnhouse or self-host it in something like Kubernetes & Cloud is a top priority too.

We're just laying the foundations of the LMS and we'll work on new features and guides soon, we would love to hear about some of your recommendations ^^

Is this targeted at large orgs? It seems like many universities use MS products that include user management. So, I’m not creating a separate account, but signing in with MS. Is that implemented?
Here is a killer LMS feature: instructor uploads PDF of this week's reading, and the LLM generates a 20 question assessment with randomized multiple-choice questions.

Or how about thinking deeply about assessment questions that are semi-resistant to LLMs? Justin Wolfers just did a webinar where he talked about visual questions (line moving) as being the most resistant economics questions to LLMs. What about designing from the ground-up to use elements that are LLM-resistant?

Do a really good job of implementing LTI (semi-complex standard) so you can instantly integrate third-party apps. Takes pressure off you to build every tool/feature.
