This will be a co-presentation with my co-worker Harriet Watkins at EDUCAUSE Southwest Regional Conference 2010. Here is the abstract:
Rapid changes in online learning concepts – such as learning communities, personal learning environments and complexity – are driving a need to dismantle the Learning Management System as we know it. LMS software programs and instructional design theories are in danger of becoming obsolete if they don’t evolve. Students need a place to connect and collaborate at complex levels rather than hide inside a “walled garden.” Two colleagues at UT Arlington will present a new paradigm that is intended as an innovative alternative to the existing LMS concept as we know it.
This is an upgraded and updated version of our ‘Will Web 3.0 Make Us Change the Way We Educate” presentation from 2009.
