Luui is the operating system where new things become possible
…The operating system you were missing
Luui is a MacOS application. Our beta testing period is underway: if you’d like be a beta tester, sign up here. You’ll need to run Luui on your M-series Mac
Luui’s tools are built to encourage participation. Exploring the list here outlines multiple areas where learners and creators of courses interact through Luui to define the needs of the community, and respond with new courses and changes to existing courses that support the best learning outcomes, together.
-
Luui maintains a publicly available list of courses. Users can select and add courses to their personal library, for fast access and extra features.
-
Luui courses are built in Luui, and courses can be built by any member of the Luui Collective. The Builder allows you to create, manage and control all aspects of your course, and collaborate with others to create and maintain it
-
What happens when something in a course is wrong, has a technical glitch, or just is hard to understand? You always have the Issue Reporter at hand, which lets you identify and report the problem for the course maintainers to correct.
-
Dozens of reports would drown a team trying to keep the course up to date. So the Issue Aggregator presents the course team with a summary of issues users identified, in easier-to-digest form.
-
The aggregated issues get turned into actionable tasks, called Tickets. Those tickets appear in the admin section for the course, allowing the team managing the course to focus on what needs doing.
-
Luui has a special editor that runs throughout it. This lets users tell the collective what topics they want to see covered. Potential course creators can use that information to focus their courses on what actually satisfies a need among Luui learners..
-
Who does the work? Luui is built so anyone who wants to, can help.
Every section of every course has a volunteer button: click it to indicate you want to contribute. And if you have special skills, there’s an AOI just to communicate what you bring to the table.
-
QA is really important. So if you want to launch your course to the waiting world, you can start by adding emails of people you think might help to be testers.
When they log in, they’ll see an invitation to your course. And if they aren’t Luui members, you can email them directly to invite them to join.
Luui is a Feedback Loop
Luui offers Video Based Learning (VBL) that responds to learner input.
Feedback is built into Luui, based on field experience of curriculum development in Bootcamps and Classrooms
Three Feedback Loops That Make Luui Work
-
Instead of setting out what categories courses can have in advance, users declare what they’re interested in learning .
The aggregated lists of what users want is available to course creators, who can then respond to those needs. When a course is published that matches a user-defined need, that category becomes an official course category.
-
Any user can report an issue with any clip in Luui. Users do this for anything that’s wrong, technically glitchy, obsolete, or maybe just unclearly expressed.
These reports are aggregated and visible immediately to the team maintaining the course.
Then, when corrections are made, those same users get notified, as do past and current followers of the course.
-
Before a course is published to the catalogue, the creator can invite others to test the course and provide feedback – another use of Issue Reporting.
These courses remain private, but testers can also invite testers, letting good courses go viral inside Luui, boosting their candidacy for catalogue inclusion
Three ideas That Guide Luui
-
Sharing knowledge is one the greatest things we do, and Luui was built for that..
So Luui is free, to keep the barriers to learning as low as possible.
-
We built Luui as an outlet for the best in people: the impulse to share what they know with others.
-
Video Based Learning (VBL) gained traction via YouTube. But the time has arrived for VBL to serve education, not advertising.
Luui was built to address that need.
Participation Drives Luui
We think people should be free to share what they know, in an environment that supports learning.
Luui is a container: skills the community needs are contributed by community members who have them.
The three principles that we outline are our starting point.. What would you like to see?
What’s the Luui Collective?
The Luui Collective is the name for a group of subject experts, editors, testers, content developers, and just everyday people interested in transferring their skills, interests and enthusiasm for subjects close to them to a world of eager learners.
