savvago - the social gamified mobile open source LMS

Well, still looking for the right claim (“the social gamified mobile open source LMS” seems rather long)

What’s the Vision?

savvago is a learning management system that is open source yet enterprise enabled, social and gamified. The focus is on mobile and micro learning, being a simple yet powerful LMS for a broad range of applications.

What’s the status?

I started some months ago, working on some basic concepts like courses, lessons, users. There is no working release yet. The repository does contain code but it’s not working software yet. But still I think it makes sense to get some feedback already…

What’s the plan?

Step 1: First Beta Version, just to get started somewhere

• [x] basic user self service (register, login, lost password)
• [x] import courses from json/zip files
• [x] enroll to courses
• [x] support lessons with PDF content
• [x] learn lessons
• [] release a first version for testing and feedback (installable)

Step 2: Add some collaboration stuff

• [] simple lifecycle of courses
• [] collaboration capabilities for lessons and courses
• [] share results
• [] peer review of results

Step 3: Add some gamification stuff

• [] badges, awards, let’s see…
• [] arrange lessons on a map instead of linear curriculum. Imagine Map as a 2D world in an 80ies RPG, with secret dungeons, surprises, non-linear gameplay, etc.

Step 4: broaden the scope

• [] simple course editor
• [] user management
• [] more content types, e.g. youtube, etc.

way more steps…

Hopefully…
