Experiencing eLearning

In a recent discussion about how I have learned about instructional design without getting a master’s degree, someone asked me what courses and webinars I’ve attended. Transitioning from WebCT to Sakai. When I attend webinars or participate in online courses and conferences, I usually live blog my notes.

LMS' like WebCT, Blackboard, and Desire2Learn offer their greatest value to the organization by providing a means to sequence content and create a manageable structure for instructors/administration staff. WebCT and Blackboard have recently formed partnerships with synchronous tools to allow for easy integration across platforms.

Today BlackBoard announced plans to merge with WebCT; the two leading providers in the higher education eLearning space (BlackBoard alone forecasts US$150M+ for their fiscal year). It also doesn't bode well for WebCT's willingness to play with open source (sorry Harold!) Clark - you need to update your Chart of Consolidations !

Interactivity–more than just reading and discussion. Visual test with maps–created in WebCT, can be done elsewhere too. Faculty satisfaction. Small steps. Conversational–course evaluations are better for courses with a conversational tone. No lecture pages–no big long text. Online is different.

In Ning, the technology invites me to start on the fly with new discussions. An example: when I work with Moodle the technology invites me to prepare the course with all sections in advance. This stimulates a more flexible role for the facilitator. It is important to know your own convictions when choosing and using technology.

Generally speaking, Learning Management Systems like WebCT or Blackboard are used for larger educational institutions like colleges or universities, while LMS’s like the one we offer are used more by individual course sellers. However, it’s important not to get overwhelmed by the features of different Learning Management Systems.

I also like to make occasional visits to Google Labs and Adobe Labs to "keep up" with the tech tools they are working on and to test drive any beta versions available.
