here is, at its very core, a problem with the LMS paradigm. The โMโ in โLMSโ stands for โmanagement.โ This is not insignificant. The word heavily implies that the provider of the LMS, the educational institution, is โmanagingโ student learning. Since the dawn of public education and the praiseworthy societal undertaking โeducate the masses,โ management has become an integral part of the learning. And this is exactly what we have designed and used LMSs to doโto manage the flow of students through traditional, semester-based courses more efficiently than ever before. The LMS has done exactly what we hired it to do: it has reinforced, facilitated, and perpetuated the traditional classroom model, the same model that Bloom found woefully less effective than one-on-one learning.
