Discourse as an LMS / Discourse integration with an LMS

So there are quite nice wordpress ways to create an LMS: Welcome to nginx!

But they are all quite rigid. I think Discourse as an LMS might be a better idea, is there any new development?

In terms of what we need, I am thinking:

  • Advanced search, which we have already but we would need to make it more prominent in the LMS: Search results for '' - Discourse Meta
  • A nicer way to display grouped lessons (a course)
  • A nicer way to display grouped courses (a course category)

So maybe what we need is a template/theme rather than a full fledged plugin? We could have the theme to display in a special way all threads with a certain tag (course or lesson). Also, we would need to make the advanced search place a bit more LMS looking.
