The document discusses the next generation of teaching and learning tools beyond traditional learning management systems (LMS). It outlines some of the key tenets of next generation tools, including being smaller and scalable, relying on external app stores and content repositories, and having more powerful authoring capabilities. Some early examples in this emerging space are mentioned, focusing on repositories, app stores, and platforms that combine small LMS functionality with external apps and content. Standards alignment is also discussed as important for next generation tools. The document concludes by suggesting how open source projects like Sakai could ensure survival by embracing these next generation approaches.
