IMO we should replace general corporate trainings (those HR ones, e.g. anti-harassment) with centralized ones, so that we don't have to take it again and again. Those are the most boring, most time consuming things for the first 1-2 week of any new job. The only purpose is for the company to click some checkboxes.

One of the major issues with LMSes is grading and cheating. You have one poor teacher's assistant that has to grade 1000 student submissions by the end of the week. How do you make this possible without compromising the integrity of the assignment or the fairness of the grading? Assignments should be painless to grade while being difficult to cheat on. It is very difficult. Many LMSes fail because they only address the pain points of the learners and not of the educators.

This product looks really slick.

But what I don't like is the implication that learning isn't already fun. Learning is inherently fun!

It's not gamification that make learning fun. What makes learning fun the satisfaction that comes from completing tasks successfully and the sense of focus that comes from a course that has a well-organized roadmap.

Did you validate with any corporation if it solves any of their real pain points?

I am very curious to know.

Since it will take a long time for organisations to realise the benefits for a long term product like this:

A. How do you(or did you) plan to launch the MVP and get the feedback loop running?

B. How do you market/sell this? (is fun > boring enough moat for say businesses?)

How do you plan to reach people looking for an LMS - any particular niche/strategy?
