Discourse as LMS?

[outofthebox (Carson)]

Hi, does anyone use Discourse as their LMS? If so, what’s working? What’s not? How have you supplemented Discourse? We’re considering it ourselves - proof of concept and good ideas from others are appreciated!

Hey Carson,
This blog post might hold a few clues.

I’ve also invited @pfaffman who can no doubt add value to this discussion.

Discourse as an LMS / Discourse integration with an LMS

Continuing the discussion from Customized Discourse Help Needed (requests below): Hi Jay, Like you I am looking into using Discourse as an LMS or integrating it with an LMS. I find most LMSes too be too bloated with features, and need something a lot more flexible and user-driven. I’m curious: what were the plugins you wrote? Or maybe I should ask: what plugins would you like to create if you had unlimited resources that would make Discourse into a better LMS-like tool?
