The Learning Management System will be the primary application for educational content distribution in the Dastan ecosystem and will serve three distinct user groups:

Community Members: LMS users will be able to accrue rewards by completing courses, quizzes, quests, etc.
Dastan Partners: Sponsored educational content will give Dastan Partners another avenue to get in front of the Dastan community.
Creators: Course creators will be able to accrue rewards by generating content that the LMS users engage with.
