I've shared an item with you: Strategic Evolution of our LMS: Towards an AI-Native Learning System https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1J5_6Jqz8M5cT0qNqSb7yee8t9h-oYJCep-YJAwvzvpg/edit?usp=sharing&ts=69f8601b It's not an attachment -- it's stored online.

Hi everyone, I put inside the file some new LMS features. The majority are those requested by students and that have to be evaluated one by one (in the second sheet you find the version in italian sent by students).

Hi Riccardo, Thank you so much for this initiative. These are great suggestions. I am currently evaluating all of them and editing the spreadsheet based on my suggested priorities so we can align further on the roadmap. May I ask how you collected these feature requests?

This requests were sent by students themselves. In the second sheet of the file you can find exactly what they wrote (it is in Italian but you can translate). There is also each priority they assigned, even if we have to evaluate those by ourselves since we cannot base the priorities only with their perception of what is important or not.

Hi Riccardo, I've gone through all 13 points and the students' priorities. Overall the feedback is thoughtful and a good chunk of it overlaps with things already on our roadmap or worth prioritizing now. I've attached my evaluation as a Google Doc below, grouped by what I'd accept, defer, or push back on. *Regarding ThinkAI's offer to contribute to development:* I'm not sure if you've already replied to them on this topic, but here are my thoughts. The enthusiasm is genuinely great and I want to keep them engaged, but I'd recommend we do not give them direct access to the LMS codebase. The platform is three years old, has accumulated real architectural complexity, and what reads as "easy" from the outside often isn't. Their Python trainer prototype is a good example: it works in isolation but has bugs and wouldn't survive contact with our auth, content model, or deployment pipeline. Allowing external students to code or 'vibecode' into a mature production app would introduce unacceptable risk. That said, I encourage them to build external tools that we may integrate once they pass our quality standards. Philip and I are refactoring the LMS backend to a service layer architecture to increase test coverage. Once we have a proper automated quality gate in CI, we may reconsider student contribution to the project at a junior level. What I'd propose instead: • Treat them as a structured feedback and design partner group, not as developers on the codebase. We should create an instant communication channel and give them special Discord roles to recognize their contribution. • Invite them to participate in spec reviews and UX validation for the features above where they have real user insight (forum, training lab, notifications). • If they want to contribute code, we can scope a small, isolated piece, for example content or curriculum alignment work on the training lab, or building reference exercises, that doesn't touch core systems. • Acknowledge their work publicly. The document itself is well-structured and shows initiative worth recognizing. This keeps them invested without putting the platform at risk. Happy to set up a call with you, Giulio, and Stefano to align on the roadmap and the engagement model before you respond to them. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mk_ck4-XjBYii2JXVrfoCDDYqO3NFaOPruMO3K9xz8A/edit?tab=t.0 Best, Ubeyt

But in fact they we never considered them to do something on the LMS. We only take their suggestions into the roadmap since they are students and we cannot ignore their point of view as users.
