Is there any fedi-friendly(ish), selfhost-able, foss-like, online course software that's better than Moodle? I know Moodle is out there but don't want to faff about with it if there's a better software I can put on my site and offer classes.

Edit: Nothing against Moodle per se, but looking for alternatives *like* it so I can assess options.

@michaelc I am plowing back into moodle as of today and would be more than glad to yoke along with you if you decide to mess around
@michaelc I didn't find options but I don't know what I am doing

@geonz I've used Moodle, Canvas, and Blackboard in the (somewhat distant) past, so there are familiar bits but probably also good to assume I don't know what I'm doing either.

Also, I like your account name. I did some math curriculum work in the past, with a focus on student choice more than explicitly cognitive accessibility.

@michaelc I've been at community college for 25 years now as "staff" so I have tripped over chances to make things in Canvas with an OER adult ed project (but when they took 5-10 years to NOT make it possible to *copy a question* on a quiz, I bailed).
I know a lot about ways to structure basics and algebra for people who "don't get" math and several times almost got a course going in D2L here but I couldn't make it gel with our class infrastructure. I"m dabbling more w/ adult ed folks as well as our "developmental" ed (our math folks refuse to abandon it so far, YAY!!!) so I thought I would at least make a "learn your times tables" course as a learning exercise, and some "number sense" experiences. Moodle has some options for "6 + 7" or "7 + 6" are both right answers with a bit of Boolean ;) ... but I"m approaching retirement and want to share what shouldn't be secrets.
I had a few weeks where we were working on an approved "for everybody!" Moodle course under the college's auspices, but then the "right" higher up tech people saw it and nixed it. It's spring break and I decided to dig it up ;)
@geonz @michaelc Noting as well that D2L as a company is fully AI-pilled. And the CEO drives a cybertruck.
