Yes, there are several building blocs we can start to think about as -- 
in no preference order:

- *namespace* for safe installation of applications/bundles,

- *sandbox environment* for safe execution of applications/bundles,

- *vectorial widgets* to build an environment with a rendering quality 
as close as possible to the quality of the school physical tools,

- *application framework* (MVC, MVP, Morph?) with ad-hoc design pattern 
to ease the development of third party applications/bundles,

- and likely many more my ignorance does not know about, but you can 
insert it here bellow!

As we can see these building blocs are of general interest.

I was also giving distance course in Geneva. We have Moodle and 
Classrooms, the technical struggle was so immense.

In some situation, the kids could type in a Google Doc I prepared with 
exercises, as long as they had access to a computer it was not that 
difficult. Classroom handles to me their works so I could review it 
quite easily and type in comments.

In other situation the kids wrote in their textbook or workbook, then 
they scanned or most of the time took a picture with the phone and 
attached it to their classroom assignment.

Truly Google classroom made the process easier and not too much 
technical (compare to Moodle). But a Dynabook in the form of a A4 size 
workbook would have make the process much more transparent, particularly 
when you can write with a pen.
