Hello, everyone! Welcome.

As this project gets started, we should decide what we actually want to build :smiling_face_with_tear: !

Mainly, I wanted to get some feedback about our project direction before we get too far into something that people don’t like.

Here are thoughts:

Overall

I think we should build something similar to D2L. I think this is a concept familiar to many of us, is feasible, and gives us things to think about (multiple kinds of users, etc.)
I think we should make something that is more general. That is, D2L seems built for existing schools. It might be cool to make something that is more social; as in anyone could provide instructional materials and anyone can participate
When starting out, I think we should start small. D2L is used by both students and teachers. I think our project should start only looking at students or teachers (we’ll consider the other type of user later!)

What are your thoughts? See poll below.

Concepts

If we decide to make an LMS type system, we should start by either making something for students or something for teachers. Here are my ideas:

A work-tracking app (add homework, add progress towards homework, etc.). Think of it as a homework organizer

Grade tracking app
Course outline tracking (maybe something that ensures that the lessons build on previous lessons, etc.)
