Final Josh Kim Counterpoint Educause December 09
Learning Management Technologies: Enterprise System or Consumer Good? This session will compare and contrast approaches in the use of learning management technologies in higher education: an enterprise model where a learning management system is centrally provided versus a consumer model where faculty are encouraged to use a wide variety of available Web 2.0 tools (blogs, Facebook, Twitter). Two presenters with expertise on both sides of the issue will discuss the relative merits of each model. They will also illuminate a shared challenge: the "humanware" (people helping people) investments that support the use of these technologies by faculty on campus are critical to their success. http://www.educause.edu/E09+Hybrid/EDUCAUSE2009FacetoFaceConferen/LearningManagementTechnologies/175842

Editor's Notes
- Welcome. Here are the outlines of our debate. Stand back and let the audience read 11/02/09
- We’ve been arguing about the LMS, Web 2.0, and open source vs. proprietary now for a couple of years. The argument has not gotten us very far. Where we should be talking about learning, we often talk about philosophy. Ask the audience to think about the philosophy they bring to this discussion 11/02/09
- This is not a debate about features, or ROI, or even really about the merits of an enterprise system. 11/02/09
- This debate is really about attention. Attention is the scarcest commodity that we will bring back to campus. We have plenty of ideas, theories, goals, and skills – what we lack is time. The reality is that resources are so limited that we can only do a few things with learning technology and the LMS. We have to make choices. In this debate I’m going to try to convince about some choices I think you should make. I’m going to try to persuade you where to devote your attention around the LMS. 11/02/09
- The reality is that almost none of us are going to jettison the lms. Some of you may be thinking of swapping your lms – I’m going to try and convince you to be cautious. But the lms is entrenched….and that is a good 11/02/09
