It needs a cute name. Suggestion box is now open in the replies.

I can't tell if it's a Splort or a Mwerp.

@inthehands my only suggestion is a terrible one: Bad Moodle.

@inthehands Back when Covid happened I redesigned all my courses to work in Blackboard. Then the university system decided the next year that we had to switch to Canvas, and I redesigned them again. I have played with Moodle, which as I remember is open-source and non-corporate. Is it really worse than these two corporate monsters? It is hard to imagine.

@inthehands all right, sensible comment: a course needs to have two things, (i) a place to share material, and (ii) a place for grades (and maybe things like submitting work online and grading it). I don't like our Canvas any more than you like Moodle, but I have to concede that (ii) is something I am going to delegate to it. I have no interest in letting Moodle/Canvas near (i), though, partly because I want anyone interested to be able to see the material, and our Canvas is only accessible to students actually enrolled in the course (and not even those on the waitlist).
