    "In this "nothing left to take away" version, the LMS becomes the smooth, brown, plastic oval of Mr. Potato Head. All of the traditional "features" of the LMS are independent, swappable components that plug in via LTI - the way Mr. Potato Head's happy eyes are swappable for his angry eyes. Or, if you prefer a more technical analogy, the LMS becomes an operating system like iOS (but hopefully WAY more open) and all previous system features become apps that you can install and uninstall as you will."

  • In Pineapple, you play the role of a principal in charge of a school and your ultimate goal is to earn as much funding as possible. To do that, you need to ensure it produces the highest standardized test scores throughout a dozen different scenarios. By dehumanizing kids and turning them into pineapples (read: statistics) that makes it easier because "pineapples," as they exist here, excel at testing and nothing else.
