The New Blended Learning and The Problem with LMSs

11/25/2013

0 Comments

 
As educators integrate technology into classroom practice, blended learning models offer a method for educators to use in designing learning that leverages technology to personalize and contextualize the experience.

Blended learning models embrace personalized, context-based and social learning. There is scope to develop blended learning models supporting classroom teachers in technology integration, to include managing technology in the classroom and holding students accountable for learning.

The next step is finding an LMS that supports social and interactive learning experiences. I have been on a hunt for an LMS that integrates all the elements I want in my learning design courses and workshops; webinars, interactivity, exploration, social learning and continuing professional network. 

I want an LMS that does it all. Clearly I am not alone in thinking this; a brief internet search shows a small explosion of new companies developing the iLMS - interactive LMS, providing platforms supporting blended learning models.

Perhaps it is time to think beyond the next few years, to visualize what technology integration in the traditional classroom actually means, and provide educators with what they really need; social, personalized, reflective and ongoing professional development, supporting a revolution in teaching practice, while leveraging and managing technology to develop and deepen interactive learning experiences. 

Can a new blended learning model for education, support teachers as they use the true power of technology to develop and manage learning experiences?
