I can't tell from the site, but how mature is this lms?
I recently toyed around with Canvas[1] and found it to be really stable and feature-rich without that messy feeling that Blackboard or Moodle give you. What were the motivations to develop this system instead of enhancing or forking another lms?

- arturventura 13y agoFenixEdu has been in use for the last 10 years, and in continuous development over that time, so I would say it its mature. It didn't started as a LMS, actually started as a Academic Management System. We needed a system to control all the academic administrative operations. Later we developed the LMS system connected with the AMS. Right now we are on the process of replacing our old LMS with a new one. We have very cool ideas that we are developing right now (timeline based view for the students, tools for interactive presentations, transparent support for MOOCs, etc.)
- faizshah 13y agoWould you mind highlighting the differences between FenixEdu and Canvas?
- arturventura 13y agoI've never tried Canvas, but from what I could gather it seems it is just a LMS. FenixEdu is a combination between a Academic Management System and a LMS. It has course pages, but also manages the diploma emission, teacher credits, room management, scheduling, Erasmus, etc. all the other backoffice stuff a school has to handle.
