We say the next LMS should not be a better filing cabinet — that an assignment should open into the environment it actually needs rather than into a description with an upload box underneath. That is easy to say and hard to picture. So we built it, as a prototype you can walk through without an account.
Six courses, six working environments, all built: a repository with an editor, a terminal and checks; a notebook; a derivation canvas; a structure and mechanism editor; a paper beside its lab notebook; and a draft beside its sources. Flip the persona switch and you walk the whole loop — the instructor publishes, the student works, the student submits, the instructor grades, the grade posts back.
Two things in it matter more than the six environments. Each workspace records what the student did while they did it, and can rebuild its own state from that record — so a submission is a thing that happened, not a file that appeared. And submitting never leaves the workspace: the sheet describes what travels in the vocabulary of the work, files and the latest check run, cells and their outputs, rather than as an attachment.
Being plain about what this is not: there is no instructor product, no course authoring, no gradebook, no roster sync, and no grade passback in any shipping Scope product. Every course, person, submission, and grade in the prototype is invented. The passback to Canvas is simulated in the browser and reaches nothing. Nothing here charges anyone or claims an institution.
It exists so instructors and design partners can try the thing the roadmap describes before it is built, and so that when we do build it, there is something specific to build against.
