Evening all
I have just finished listening to a presentation from the New Zealand Moodle Moot which finishes yesterday(mentioned on Stephen Downes' OLDaily e-newsletter). The title is
Can MOODLE become more SUPPLE?
http://www.slideshare.net/flexilearn/stanley-frielick-moodle-moot-nz07
The presentation discusses the need for traditional LMS/VLE systems (which are essentially Web 1.0 technologies) to move on and embrace Web 2.0 and thus morph into PLEs - Personalised Learning Environments. The presenter makes a case for Moodle being ahead of the game in this regard because of its open philosophy. Regardless of your views in the LMS wars, the discussion about learning design and how educational thinking needs to move on so that student use of web 2.0 is acknowledged and made use of, is great food for thought.
The presentation is in Slideshare so you see the slides and hear the audio. Moodlemoot website is at http://www.elearning.org.nz/
