We are imagining an academy in which we offer theoretical lessons (either as videos or videos and written documents), but also practical lessons (with the possibility of those creating an output we need for our own research). Practical lessons could be evaluated by a team member ( not very scaleable in the future?).

We can achieve this using an LMS (Learning Management System) or using documents (probably not Office docs, but instead an app like Coda).

Maybe we can have an Coda Doc that contains the course overview and has links to all the lessons (imagining a collapsible Doc which is the Course Overview, then it collapses into all the lessons). For each lesson we could have a link for the practical side of the lesson, which when clicked generates a new Coda Doc with a template we created for that practical lesson, and the user can edit it. So that every user can have their personal Coda Doc for practical lessons, which they can edit and the submit the link for it somewhere.

EduFlow is certainly going in the right direction, but we need an app that is as scaleable as possible.

There are hundreds of LMS to choose from, according to [https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/best-learning-management-systems/ Forbes].

Apps like Moodle, Blackboard are not suited for us because they were mainly created for universities. They are platforms, rather than LMS, such as Eduflow.
