Envisioning the Post-LMS Era: The Open Learning Network (EDUCAUSE Quarterly) | EDUCAUSE - 0 views

  • 90 percent of colleges and universities have a standardized, institutional LMS implementation.

      Adoption of LMSs is widespread.
  • Maintaining system stability and integrity

      Now that we have 60% of seats in Sakai, this is a biggy at UD.
  • usage patterns suggest that the LMS is primarily a tool set for administrative efficiency rather than a platform for substantive teaching and learning activities.
    • Mathieu Plourde
       
      This is consistent with my observations. Faculty use the LMS for 1) dumping files to students, 2) gathering assignments, and 3) share grades.

  • Unfortunately, he concluded, LMS implementations in higher education have "largely failed to empower the strong and effective imaginations that students need for creative citizenship" in the new medium of the web.

      Which activities go inside the walls, and which ones can permeate outside?
  • because every learner’s PLN is different, providing training and support is much more complex and expensive than providing support for an LMS with its vertically integrated stack of common tools.

      This is why your typical Educational Technologist won't recommend what's outside the institutional toolbox ;-)
  • mashup sites
    • Mathieu Plourde
       
      Loosely joint pieces can be re-aggregated on a common URL like a startpage, or inside the LMS.
  • The OLN is not intended merely to allow the LMS and PLE paradigms to coexist in harmony, but rather to take the best of each approach and mash them up into something completely different, something better than just the sum of its parts. More precisely, the OLN aims to reconcile the apparently competing paradigms of the secure, private, proprietary institutional network and the public, dynamic, social web.
    • Mathieu Plourde
       
      This is the essence of the OLN: a mashup, a compilation of best-of-breeds.
  • Teachers and learners simply log in to a portal (or other module mashup interface) to access, configure, and use the tools they need in particular learning contexts (courses, projects, internships, and so forth)

      This section might be a little dry, and might not concern teachers as much.
