What feature is missing from today's LMS platforms?

I built ProfDesk after running into limitations with LMS platforms available to me as a university lecturer. Every institution has different needs, especially those without dedicated IT teams or teaching assistants.

If you teach, what is one feature you wish your LMS had?

What is the most time-consuming part of teaching that AI still hasn't solved?

While building ProfDesk, I spent a lot of time talking to fellow instructors about the parts of teaching they enjoy versus the parts they wish they could automate.

For me, it wasn't teaching itself. It was grading, attendance, organizing submissions, and preparing Outcome-Based Education (OBE) reports.

ProfDesk - The AI grading desk that gives educators back their nights.

Teaching shouldn't mean spending your nights grading. ProfDesk is an AI grading desk for educators that grades PDF and scanned assignments in bulk, generates rubrics, detects copied work, automates attendance, manages students without requiring email accounts, and maps CLOs to PLOs for accreditation. Built for individual instructors who need enterprise-level capabilities without enterprise complexity or per-student fees.
