Many people want an LMS like this: • A private, secure place • Replicate/enforce traditional roles • Students seen as needing to gain competencies and knowedge • Content is structured and “dumped” on the students to be absorbed • Content is “pumped” out of the students again and competencies assessed via Quizzes Copyright 2011 © Martin Dougiamas CC BY-NC

But an LMS can also be like this: • A focussed community of practitioners • Everyone is a teacher and learner • Connected activities that use different strategies to gather data, reuse it, analyse it, practice skills and so on. • Integration with the rest of the internet • Content is gathered/produced by the students continuously • Assessment takes place continuously in a number of ways (everything is assessable), by all participants Copyright 2011 © Martin Dougiamas CC BY-NC
