Please use example domains as examples :). Example.com, example.org, and example.net were made for this and it avoids accidentally-existing email addresses ending up on spam lists because someone posted it publicly as an example
For the password thingy, please note that complexity requirements are explicitly not recommended. We're all used to them, but the knowledge that it's cargo cult hasn't spread through the community yet. I feel like I need to back my claim up:
- USA NIST recommends¹ (Appendix A) to introduce a length requirement and deny using previously cracked passwords. These passwords should be obtained from publicly available lists. The reasons for not setting any requirements for complexity are set out in section A.3 of their publication.
- The UK National Cyber Security Centre similarly recommends² password deny lists and calls for not using complexity requirements or regular password expiry
- I think the german BSI or the Dutch NCSC or something also came around recently, but I can't find the link right now
Another option to make the login flow smoother is just offering an email with a one-time 90-minute-valid (because greylisting) login link, as alternative to setting/entering a password (I personally prefer a password for frequently-used sites to not have to switch apps and pollute my inbox every time).
I think first-time creators is a better bet. They're more willing to try something new like UneeBee and more motivated to improve the product as well, so we can grow together.
Of course, experienced creators are welcome too but they already have an audience and usually play safe, so I understand why they wouldn't want to bet on UneeBee. First-time creators have nothing to lose, so it's a win-win situation. :)
I'm new, but this is looking quite interesting. I've been looking for something like this e.g. music theory or instruments. Some kind of spaced repetition for reading staff, building chords, maybe even chords and notes on a guitar. I'll have to set this up somewhere and play with the editor some.
Personally, I think they serve different needs. I see Moodle and Opigno as great tools for traditional learning methods (video and text based).
I struggle with that kind of learning experience and I think I'm not alone. Even using something like H5P, the overall user experience is far from what Duolingo offers for language learning.
Plus, I find the overall UX too confusing. UneeBee is far from good but I hope it will have much better user experience than traditional learning tools.
My vision for the long-term is to make it more practical too: A hands-on tool where we can learn by doing and seeing how things work in real-life. That's very hard to accomplish on tools like Moodle and Opigno.
But, to be clear, I don't think (and I don't aim) to replace those tools. I think UneeBee (and its cloud offerings) will be an additional tool.
> Schools especially may use a learning platform for 10+ years, at least when authoring with H5P they are not stuck in a single platform anymore. What's your solution for this problem?
Tbh, I don't have a solution for this problem yet and I agree that's an issue. I think having an open plugin system like WordPress will help but I'm not sure how this would work yet. Always open to ideas.
> what kind of schools are you thinking of public private charter?
Initially, private schools because adoption is easier. But, long-term, I'd like to help public schools too.
> do teachers create their own content? I thought the content always came from a tie up of the school to a publisher that supplies all of it. It's hard to supplant publishers in grade school IIUC.
Teachers can create their own content, if they want to. Based on my experience talking to teachers, though, they prefer when the content is already created because they don't have much time to do it.
At some point, I'll probably look into partnering with publishers. I think this will help distribution because it's pretty hard to sell learning materials directly to schools.
In some places it's more flexible, though. I'm constantly talking to teachers and school managers to see how we can make it work but I'm foreseeing some roadblocks. I think Educasso will take a bit longer to reach the market.
LibreLingo is great but they focus on language learning only. My idea is to go beyond language and build an app that allows us to learn anything using interactive lessons.
Eventually, I want to have a plugin system to have different lesson types for other subjects.
Plus, I'm going to use UneeBee to offer cloud products for enterprise, school, and creators. It will get much more complex than LibreLingo's current scope.
I agree. But there were some technical issues I'd have to deal with to make it work properly and I didn't have the time to deal with it right now.
> do you plan to have general free courses?
The marketplace (mywisek.com) will likely have free courses.
> would I go to your site to hunt around for something interesting to learn, or are you always behind the scenes
You'll be able to hunt around for something interesting to learn.
