Of course multitenancy [1] is a nice feature to have for every web based software, however I just wanted to clarify if it was possible to use your product if one has more than one course to offer.
We used Moodle at my last University (UON) (transitioned from blackboard) but this is a very lightweight product for a very different purpose (Online courses).
Granted It didn't take too long to build (about 13 weeks in my spare time) but It's actually a lot more work than you might think.
The challenge is not in the "coding" but getting the user experience right.
Beginners cant install this. Someone has to do it for them :).
I wrote the article on Medium. I was in contact with 2-3 ex-students of that course. None of them received refunds several months after my article (I imagine I received the refund because I started the "movement").
We need a few more Rails developers to mentor our programming students (4-weeks/student).
What you will do?
Reply all the student emails and rails questions for 4 weeks
Have an Hour-Long Skype conversation with the student(each week) to correct their projects and for higher-level explanations of concepts they don't understand.
You'll get a generous fee per student and you can take up to 5 students if you have the time.
You don't need to have used rails for 5 years to apply, but you need to be very comfortable with the framework and have enough experience and knowledge to be able to teach it.

Udacity's model is to provide self-paced classes with absolutely no deadlines or time windows, as opposed to Coursera and edX's more traditional approach. I can see the argument that some people would prefer having more structure; that might help with motivation. I think the ideal platform would allow, like Udacity, the ability to start a class at any time, but provide options to tweak time constraints and deadlines for people who would like to include them. If sufficiently powerful and flexible, that might provide the best of both worlds.
Yes that's right. Is multi-tenancy something you'll like? If it is, I can start working on this next week.
