Revolutionary theories?

Many people want an LMS like this:
• A private, secure place
• Replicate/enforce traditional roles
• Students seen as needing to gain
competencies and knowedge
• Content is structured and “dumped”
on the students to be absorbed
• Content is “pumped” out of the
students again and competencies
assessed via Quizzes


But an LMS can also be like this:
• A focussed community of practitioners
• Everyone is a teacher and learner
• Connected activities that use different
strategies to gather data, reuse it,
analyse it, practice skills and so on.
• Integration with the rest of the internet
• Content is gathered/produced by
the students continuously
• Assessment takes place continuously
in a number of ways (everything is
assessable), by all participants

And what about PLEs?
