DevLearn11 - Feel The Need to Manage Learning
1) The document discusses the concept of "learning management" and argues that true learning cannot be managed in the same way as industrial processes. 2) It provides historical context on the development of early Learning Management Systems (LMS) in the 1960s and how they were designed for standardized training delivery at scale. 3) The document suggests that most current LMS are still based on outdated models of training administration and compliance rather than facilitating today's more self-directed and social learning experiences.
