Free Innovative Online Educators from the LMS!
These quotes are not my own but I wholeheartedly agree:
“Whatever replaces the LMS needs to help you aggregate, collect, organize, store, and view in different ways what you find in the outside world. From this raw, collected stuff …eventually comes good creative, imaginative thinking.
Why not abandon tired environments built around quiz builders and grade books and document delivery and find a way to bring the intellectual vitality of higher education, particularly as it is expressed in our students’ work, out into the world where it can find real audiences, spark real conversation, and serve as the foundation of a life’s work?
We enjoy exploring the massive potential that still lies ahead for a whole new way of delivering courses online. We feel the urgency of this effort to liberate students, faculty, and universities from the stultifying, even oppressive systems of “learning management” that continue to flourish in higher education, even when resources are disappearing and the prices keep going up.”
