Honestly? I'm tied of online platforms. They are totally inflexible by nature, they are more and more designed in childish style representing anything easy while missing user control. This IT model, not your creation to be clear but the model, is unsustainable. What's needed to teach in the present world? - first teach to use a damn desktop, the MIT Missing Semester should be considered the NORM for ALL "middle-level" (sorry, any countries have it's names and division, meaning for people between around 12 and around 18) WAY before university. No one unable to takes notes, handle his/her own files, able to typeset a decent looking document with small potatoes automation (meaning no Office crap), plotting a simple graph, writing a simple math formula, handling *sv files in simple ways, unable to properly use emails, most common fields and netiquette etc should even be admitted to the university; - secondly lessons online should be a video like a lectio magistralis, with relevant examples like https://www.youtube.com/user/AlgoRythmics/videos https://www.youtube.com/user/AlgoRythmics/videos etc where the student listen, take notes, understand, possibly in the evening to fix better memories sleeping at night, than in the morning a small personal recap to prepare {him,her}self teaching a lesson to his own teachers, even some randomly selected ones who know the topic but do not know the video/specific lesson. They listen and ask questions testing the student understatement, while this process teach how to talk, how to take notes, how to get ready to interact with others; - assignments, projects etc should be done FLOSS style with FLOSS tools chosen by the students themselves among a suggested sets or something they discover alone, because they must explore and learn the world is vary. All the above do not demand specific web platforms, at maximum a video sharing DESKTOP app PopcornTime (Torrent) style, a classic public discussion system like Usenet with school specific and nationwide groups per class, emails possibly used LOCALLY meaning a desktop MUA on a local maildir and so on because in 2024 people MUST know how to use a desktop not being just able to click around like today workers. Schools must form Citizens not workers. Oh, of course Citizens are also workers, but far more. Similarly a platform must not be a closed tool with fixed rails. What if I just want do set some "notifications" at specific computed dates? Where is the ability to quickly define a date expression like Emacs/org-agenda offer? What about quickly produce math and code and evaluate live in a whiteboard alike tool? User programming MUST be again a thing. That's what we need IMVHO to teach future generations of people able to produce future tech and human evolution.
