Learning is broken.

Steve Jobs once famously said:

"Software is a bicycle for the mind."

It's a brilliant analogy. Just as a bicycle enables you to travel faster and further than walking, software enables you to augment your ideas and capabilities.

But only if it's well-done. Bad software is not only useless, but detrimental. Lugging around a broken bicycle is slower than walking.

As a student, I've been lugging a broken bicycle for the past 13 years.

School LMSs are awful. Clunky and unintuitive interfaces. Repetitive workflows. Countless hours lost-- both inside and outside the classroom-- to distasteful design.

And for some reason, I never really noticed. I had, like everyone else, accepted the dysfunctionality of these tools as an immutable artifact of some invisible axiom. My subconscious believed it: school software just sucks. It always has, and it always will.

But consciously, one would hope that the systems responsible for educating the next generation's leaders, thinkers, and innovators are robust and thoughtfully designed. I certainly do.

And so, we're taking on the challenging task of building and distributing a better LMS-- a better bicycle-- for the next generation of students.
