The blog post "Skilled Messaging" marks a significant update to the FabLMS project, introducing two key features: a structured skills-based assessment system and a class messaging component. The skills assessment distinguishes between knowledge and character skills, emphasizing the importance of observable demonstrations and standardized rubrics attached to each skill. The class messaging feature aims to foster communication within the platform, enhancing its functionality beyond assessments.
Built out a basic messaging system—and wow, it already changes how the app feels. Being able to talk inside the platform makes it feel less like a tool and more like an actual place. It’s starting to feel like a school now.
