PANEL QUESTIONS

1. WHAT IS THE GREATEST CONTRIBUTION THE LMS HAS MADE TO TEACHING AND LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION?

2. WHAT IS A “NEXT GENERATION” LMS? WHAT PROBLEMS DOES IT SOLVE, OR NEW CAPABILITIES DOES IT BRING?

3. WHAT IS THE ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE FUTURE OF THE LMS?

4. WHAT FUTURE TECHNICAL / FUNCTIONAL DEVELOPMENT WILL HAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT ON THE LMS? (E.G. BLTI, MOBILE, TABLETS, ANALYTICS)

5. WHAT DOES BLACKBOARD’S ENTRY INTO OPEN SOURCE MEAN FOR BLACKBOARD? FOR THE GREATER ACADEMIC TECHNOLOGY LANDSCAPE?

6. WHY IS LMS REPORTING (LET ALONE ANALYTICS) SO IMMATURE? HOW CAN WE FIX IT?
