LMS's come in many sizes and shapes but they differ by use. Some are for academia, others for organizational learning, still others are for professional knowledge sharing (those selling knowledge). Wise organizations use instructional designers to build courses, and that is how we do this.
We are the KeelWorks Foundation. We are building a program to help the most challenged level up and get to gainful employment - or at least some form of contribution (thinking of those, perhaps with emotional/psychological barriers). Our approach to learning will have a closed system of courses for small groups, so we'll want to clone the system for each new facilitated group. We hope to use the system to each ten simple core competencies, ending with goal determination and goal management, and the system will then serve as a community center for those pursuing their goals and supporting their teammates. Staying in the course environment is important because it will help teammates reinforce those core competencies (e.g., critical thinking, communication, assertiveness, teambuilding, and problem-solving) as teammates struggle. I am wondering what issues you see for using OpenEdx this way? We have teams of volunteer developers to help with this.
