I need a platform to actually facilitate an async course with a cohort, not just "hey I made these videos. Enjoy my "course"

That’s basically what I’m making, ‘cause I need to put up about 4 courses like this.

Man I don’t want to reinvent blackboard. :( at that point I’ll clone Canvas and add Stripe to it.

Sooner or later all LMS become trash IME. Realistically I’ve build a course construction tool. I’ve resisted converting it into a platform for delivery because I’m only one guy and the stuff that’s left is the hard parts.

I think the problem with all LMS is they try to replicate the "classroom experience" while also trying to not replace the classroom because the professors won't use them if an LMS can replace them. So, I don't make an LMS. I make something to replace me.

Most courses in blackboard can already be facilitated without the prof. 90% of classroom teaching continues to be “listen to the prof for 60 minutes” That’s what everyone keeps trying to do: sell a bunch of videos, add comments, and pretend that’s “teaching”

If you have a text, videos and comments--that you are answering questions on--then...what else is there? I throw in Live Lessons just to cover current topics, but really if that's not enough then what would you need?

That’s not replacing you though You have to do live lessons and participate. (Which are the crucial things for me) And all the existing systems support that already. What they miss is cohorts. That’s where I am stuck. Thinkific is coming close.

I only do live lessons for special things or to correct an error, or cover a misconception. They're like an exception gets thrown. If I'm constantly teaching the same thing over and over on a live lesson then I failed in my original instruction and go back to redesign it.
