Canvas LMS - modern, open-source LMS
-
Is there still an appetite for this? I can give it a shot in my spare time. I’m very much into teaching and learning tools being more available so more options would be good IMO.

@atrilahiji You still working on this? And/or you need any help from a habitual ruby developer?
@jimcavoli @atrilahiji it'd be really great if you could work together to get this packaged for Cloudron!
I was just reading this:
https://forum.meet.coop/t/shared-learning-spaces/550
And it seems lots of people think Canvas LMS is quite a bit easier/ simpler to use than Moodle.

Ah as with most thing I totally forgot to look into this one...

@atrilahiji Yes definitely an interest. It would be good to have something more modern than Moodle, which is a pig with a bit of lipstick (IMHO).

@atridad did you ever remember to look into this?
Found myself having a need for it again today.

@jdaviescoates not even close sadly. I am really hoping someone else would pick it up

@atridad fair enough.

Moodle has massive developer support, is widely used around the world and already supported on Cloudron.
I haven't looked too much into Canvas LMS, but I would say the strongest alternative to Moodle would be Sakai:
http://source.sakaiproject.org/release/21.1/
https://www.sakailms.org/Sakai has been under development for many years now, though not so long as Moodle. It has some big backers in the world of Education, too.
There is also a LMS (Learning Management System) integrated as a module into Odoo (or Flectra, a fork of Odoo with a Freedom focus.) Odoo and Flectra have a presence on Cloudron, I think.

@loudlemur I think Canvas LMS is likely more widely used than Sakai given it has even more active development and more stars on github, see e.g.
https://selfhosted.libhunt.com/categories/1695-learning-and-courses
But Sakai seems cool too - we should add an App Wishlist post for it!

@jdaviescoates Thanks! that selfhostedlibhunt.com is useful!

I could create one, but our utterly glorious developers here must be feverishly busy preparing other applications for us. Would another wish be a burden or distraction?
