Learning Management Systems are creating a flurry of news. Take a look at this roundup of 10 of the top articles in the LMS/LXP/EdTech industry during the past week:
How Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Learning Management Systems (LMS) will Streamline Employee Learning
Need to improve employee learning? Discover how artificial intelligence benefits learning management systems and streamlines the employee learning experience, according to an article in HR Technologist. If we were to believe Hollywood, artificial intelligence is poised to take over the world and wipe out the need for humans entirely. But the reality of AI doesn’t quite match up.. Although we’re still exploring the potential of AI, the type of AI currently in use is commonly referred to as Narrow AI. Narrow AI focuses on performing a specific job or task and doesn’t have unlimited learning capabilities like in the movies. Today, we use artificial intelligence in the form of Alexa, Siri, Google Home, online shopping, search recommendations, and more. The article goes on to describe the use of AI in learning management systems, the future of this phenomenon, course effectiveness, and learning development. Read more: http://bit.ly/2IOUZcz
The Post-LMS World: Social, Simple, Modern, Mobile and Student-centric
The LMS was originally the CMS—Course Management System, according to an article in EdSurge. Today, the LMS is a technological staple for all courses across higher ed, whether online or traditional brick-and-mortar institutions. The LMS succeeds as a core productivity tool for educators because it allows institutions to extend their academic capacity and transcend the constraints of time and space. The author argues that learning is the product of inputs from students and instructors. Learning happens as a result of interaction with course content—reflection, writing, dialogue, creation and collaboration. Today’s generation of students is deeply social and collaborative. They rely on real-time online interaction, collaboration and sharing to feel supported, confident and successful. Having grown up on iPhone, Snapchat and Instagram, this generation expects seamless experiences that are deeply social and collaborative. Read more: http://bit.ly/2DARYbs
How Victoria University's LMS enabled its new course delivery model
Victoria University has overhauled its digital learning environments in a bid to support its new ‘Block Model’ of course delivery, according to IT News. This method shies away from the traditional semester structure used at most other universities. Instead of having students complete three or four courses in tandem over a 12-week semester (or shorter trimester, as some unis are now adopting), VU is experimenting with running one course at a time in a condensed four-week program. These courses are then run back-to-back to more closely mimic a traditional semester structure, with the same number of overall contact hours in a week. Having more focused courses, and removing the chance that assignments will be due for multiple classes at the same time, has resulted in higher pass rates for students, especially for those from non-English speaking backgrounds (up 14 percent) and indigenous backgrounds (up 19 percent). The successful shake-up of course delivery in the pilot program, which kicked off 18 months ago, was underpinned by a careful approach to student support through the university’s digital learning environments and its learning management system (LMS).

What is an Open Source LMS and Should You Opt for One?
On the surface, open source Learn Management Systems (LMS) can appear to be an attractive value proposition, especially for small to mid-sized businesses, according to HR Technologist. You can get started with zero upfront costs, scale as necessary, customize as required, and easily transfer content without any vendor lock-in. However, open source LMS comes with a few critical disadvantages which are often swept under the rug – hosting is still done on-premise/cloud which means you are spending heavily on storage. Also, open source LMS assumes a level of technical know-how which may be missing in your organization. So, is it better to invest in a proprietary LMS which promises long term support and quick implementation? Or, is a cost-optimized, customizable open source LMS the best-fit for you? The article discusses these questions in greater detail so you could take the right call. Read more: http://bit.ly/2PB0ImJ
