LMS SummitPedagogy Driving Development • Objectives – Generative Phase • Identify principles of teaching and learning that an LMS should proactively encourage • Assemble examples that demonstrate the form implementation of T&L principles might take • Designate most important attributes for an LMS for initial release • Process • Pre-meeting email discussion • Small group refinement of preliminary themes • Selected issues from research, libraries, system builders, and faculty users
Assessment: formative evaluation. Feedback. Multiple levels. Collaborative Learning/Community Building Concept Mapping: making visible structure Constructivist: scaffolds, novice vs masters learners, build portfolios. Individualized/Adaptive Learning Reusability: make earning objects accessible across courses and across institutions System design: scalability, integration, reduce costs, drive innovation Usability/Faculty Development LMS Pre-Meeting Themes
Observations • LMS Developers • “Look for the sweet spot” - Carl Berger, UMich • Researchers • “Generalize form, customize content” – Diana Laurillard, Open University UK • Librarians • Leverage existing digital asset management projects – John Ockerbloom, U Penn • Faculty • “Greatest faculty constraint is time” – Steve Lerman, MIT Faculty Chair
Selected Critical Features V.1 • Marketing plans and support • “Pedapoint”: wizards to support pedagogically sound course structure and content creation • Modularity/Glue • Searching Multimedia and good representation of what is contained • Collaboration across institutions • Learner, faculty, & institutional portfolios • Tools that allow easy migration of existing materials • Library of best practices
Summary of LMS Summit • We have established and must retain a pedagogical basis • We will build aiming to deliver something pragmatically useful • This is an organic community effort • And it’s now underway!
