Hello. I manage a forum with thousands of members, and I would like to start teaching there: courses, training. As a Learning Management System. I’ve already researched several, for example Moodle, it seems to work. But I believe the best solution would be a “native” Discourse solution. :wink: S…

@pfaffman may have some helpful advice about Discourse as an LMS. also this: [image] Discourse for Online Education Communities Just like our survey for game communities back in May, we once more sent out a survey to a mix of customers and self-supported Discourse communities. This tim…

I’ve flirted with this idea a bit too, and it has come up on meta.discourse.org quite a few times. Turns out that there is a half-built plugin to do exactly what you might be after: [image] [Paid] Lightweight LMS Plugin for Discourse shopping_cartMarketplace I…

I can’t quite tell what you are doing manually. Are you now concerned with the presentation of the course materials or grading, giving credit, having a way for learners to have different ways to respond with their answers?

Thanks for response dear. In fact, our entire project is free and open source, as well as the future decisions of the community. What we are seeking is a way to create a roadmap, a path that anyone who wants to learn something can follow. For example, imagine a person who wants to undergo 5G trai…

Thanks, everyone! Contributions have been really great. Before I get into my responses, let’s have a quick summary of the motivation: We’ve been one of the largest telecom and ICT communities for decades. Thousands of members across all networks (e.g., LinkedIn), and we also have a forum (Disco…

Thanks, you are doing a wonderfull job. This came across my mind. There can be two sections atleast - Questions & Answers, where one can ask queries and get answered by other members. If idea is to provide a learning path to the new members, there need to be concrete learning path with videos and …

Great @Shalab_Tripaathi . I believe what we are building there can even be incorporated by Discourse in future. The focus here is the platform itself (discourse as a forum system). And and in the forum there we are trying to get to a solution to meet everyone’s demand: new member way of learn…

Here’s an idea that might be worth exploring. Make a topic template for each “course” that people can use to create a topic for themselves to track their learning in a particular subject Template can include checklists Topics could be created in a dedicated category to track people learning (which…
