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.

I’ll be interested to see what you create because your teaching methods are sound. But I suspect it’ll be fairly pretty unique to you rather than something others could use.

Another way to put it is I don't want students to need me constantly because then they can't fend for their self after. Most other teachers want to do the same lecture 1000 times with the same information and grading homework that doesn't actually help.

I agree with that a thousand times. Also lecture is the least effective tool.

Yep, the live lessons is mostly fun, but acts as a feed to modules later. I also found that people listen more when they see that other people are watching it, even if it's watched later and not live. The worst is people teaching on Zoom. Like, just record it FFS.

The method I developed when teaching coding is highly effective. All content delivered a sync. All time together was work time where I reviewed, assessed, gave realtime feedback. Only live lectures I Gabe were exactly what you describe.

Well, like you said, what I'm making is mostly what works for me, and mostly because everyone wants to do it different so I just work on what I need. I kind of gave up on supporting other teachers after trying to get them to use WebCT back in the day. ;-)

It blows my mind how many people want to give the same lecture over and over. People can read faster than you can talk. Do something more valuable with everyone’s time.
