Ask HN: Any online courseware with these features?
But it's sooo hard to find out what the actual features of different courseware/LMS platforms are.
In particular, I'm looking for options for teaching that's mostly live sessions. This seems different from the use cases most LMS/courseware was designed for.
Does anyone know any that have any of these features? (I know there's probably nothing that has all this)
1. Interface for students to formally submit deliverables (as opposed to just another forum)
2. Forum where students can post questions and join discussion
3. Ability to differentiate between students taking the class statically (can start whenever, no feedback) vs on a schedule (with others, with instructor feedback)
4. I can livestream sessions
5. Students can comment on live sessions using text chat
6. Students can speak questions in live sessions using microphone
7. Students can screenshare to the group in a live session
8. Tutoring mode: instructor can control mouse and keyboard of a student temporarily, or work in a shared environment during session
9. Automatic transcription of recorded and live sessions (ideally human edited, but voice recognition alone is ok)
10. Ability to form discussion sections by grouping students into subsets, in an organic way (MIT Open Courseware does this great)
11. Provides ability to use streamlined signup (like, just provide an email address) if I prefer, instead of charging money (useful from promos and teasing upcoming courses)
