Learning design should define the design of the learning platform. Michael Feldstein considers what it is we are really trying to do with education. Some of it covers trust and recommendation.

Audrey Watters on 'that' LMS and the sellout by Moodlerooms and Netspot.

"If you are a large for-profit education company-say, an LMS vendor or a textbook company-give $5,000 to the DS106 Kickstarter project. At that level of contribution, in addition to all the benefits of the lower levels, you'll get a mention as doing a really swell thing on the fabulous e-Literate weblog."  Instructure did this thing!

Some useful points gathered in one place about selling services to staff. I think that we know all of these but handy to have in one place.

This study is an exploratory case study aimed at analysing one academic's teaching in terms of conceptions of teaching and its effect on student involvement or engagement. The research has been done by drawing on Gonzalez' dimensions of online teaching and data generated by the LMS and data analytics in general. There is growing interest in the use of academic analytics. However, most of the reported work is being done at the level of institutions/groupings of courses. Improving teaching can only be done through changing the conceptions of teaching/learning held by the academics. Can individual teaching staff, reflecting on their courses, learn anything important from examining their courses through analytics? How can this be done effectively? What do they find? This study uses an academic's approach to teaching + use as an indicator of involvement, therefore, an improvement of teaching.
