Editor's Notes
- LMS systems are known by various names, including course management system (CMS), learning content management system (LCMS), virtual learning environment (VLE), virtual learning system (VLS), learning portal, or e-learning platform. Each term might have a slightly different meaning, depending on your interpretation. Perhaps it should be called an instructional management system, as the system's parameters are usually set by instructors rather than by students. However, throughout this article, we'll use the term LMS.
- The advantage is that it is available in more than 100 languages! Moodle is trusted with millions of users all over the world. Definitely MOODLE!
- A massive open online course is an online course aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web. In addition to traditional course materials such as filmed lectures, readings, and problem sets, many MOOCs provide interactive user forums to support community interactions between students, professors, and teaching assistants (TAs). MOOCs are a recent development in distance education which was first introduced in 2008 and emerged as a popular mode of learning in 2012.
- an MIT-hard circuits and electronics course -- about a year and a half ago, 155,000 students from 162 countries enrolled in this course. And we had no marketing budget. Now, 155,000 is a big number. This number is bigger than the total number of alumni of MIT in its 150-year history. 7,200 students passed the course, and this was a hard course. 7,200 is also a big number. If I were to teach at MIT two semesters every year, I would have to teach for 40 years before I could teach this many students.
- EduKart, which promotes itself as “India’s leading online education company” offers degree courses recognised by the Indian University Grant Commission (UGC) and also professional certificates. Most courses are provided by Indian higher education institutions, some by international higher education institutions. EduKart emphasises that it tailors its offer to industry needs: it provides corporate courses; supports job matching; and rates its graduates on an “EduKart Rating of Employability”.
- "DU will be offering a series of MOOC which will be open and accessible to everyone across the globe. The courses will be free of cost," said Malay Neerav, Media Coordinator and Joint Dean of Students Welfare, Delhi University. "The first course in the series will be 'India in 21st century'. It will include 10 lectures all of which will be delivered by Vice Chancellor Dinesh Singh himself," he added. "The first MOOC will kickstart from January 30. The enrolments for the course ..

- The think piece highlights that with the increase in access to information, and production of knowledge (both underpinned by technology), there is a questioning of the very notions of the authority of traditional bodies of knowledge controlled by legitimate educational institutions. Mobiles provide a new, and sometimes only, access channel to the internet for many people.
- With the acceptance of the smartphone as the truly personal computer of choice for most Americans, it stands to reason that educators should be modeling and mentoring its use for the very skills we are touting as "21st century." A digitally literate culture in a technology-driven society should be teaching its children how to use the devices of choice to access, curate, communicate, collaborate with and create information. Content is now accessible anywhere at any time. What to do with it when accessed is what we need to teach. Educators no longer have the luxury of determining what content kids will be exposed to. Mobile devices have enabled kids to determine that on their own. Educators need to view smartphones not as a distraction to learning, but as an accelerator. Students can use their personal devices to personalize their learning. They can determine on their own what they want to learn without being in a classroom. The where and when about using these devices may need to be worked out for effectiveness in an academic setting, but banning should no longer be tolerated by communities demanding a relevant education for their children.
