  • The trend towards SaaS could perhaps more accurately be described as the default model now for new offerings. In the LMS market from just short two years ago, the default model was enterprise LMS.
  • many of the new offerings are not attempting to fully replace the legacy LMS, at least all at once

    Nice summary of the tension between technology as a tool to perpetuate traditional practice vs. technology as a lever for new ways forward. New ways forward require philosophical transformation in the hearts and minds of the teacher and the learner. A shiny tool alone won't suffice.

  • When universities can’t bully students into taking gen ed courses by threatening to withhold their degrees, what will they do? General education will have to be sold to students on its merits rather than placed as roadblocks on the way to the courses they really want.
  • Educational institutions will not go away, in-fact, their worth and contribution will be absolutely necessary, as validators and reviewers of the digital portfolios that will be linked to badges they award, authenticating the integrity and worth of the badge. It is not dissimilar to “certificates of proficiency” that are awarded by certain institutions or organizations that are at a finer grain size than an entire degree.

  • The existing data gathering in schools and universities pales in comparison to the value of data mining and learning analytics opportunities that exist in the distributed social and informational networks that we all participate in on a daily basis. It is here, I think, that most of the novel insights on learning and knowledge growth will occur. When we interact in a learning management system (LMS), we do so purposefully — to learn or to complete an assignment. Our interaction in distributed systems is more "authentic" and can yield novel insights into how we are connected, our sentiments, and our needs in relation to learning success.
  • learners should have access to the same dashboard for analytics that educators and institutions see
  • a learning management system like Moodle or Desire2Learn captures a significant amount of data, including time spent on a resource, frequency of posting, number of logins, etc
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Much of the current focus on analytics relates to reducing attrition or student dropouts. This is the low-hanging fruit of analytics.
  • learning analytics serve as a foundation for informed change in education, altering how schools and universities create curriculum, deliver it, assess student learning, provide learning support, and even allocate resources.
