Activity 1: Let’s open a backchannel
We created a group DIYLMS in Edmodo (code 83rwm5)Twitter (hoping there would be some tweets)
This would be a good opportunity for someone to tweet about this session using the tag
DIYLMS12
p.s. Conference tag is TACON12

Activity 2: Brainstorm online
Facilitator creates an online common space http://titanpad.com/WOyYy8R4Tm
Facilitator seeds the space with general features of LMS from participants
We create and share Tiny URL of that space http://tinyurl.com/diylms12
We form groups according to featuresEach group develops ONE aspect of the documentWe discuss each other’s ideas (something about chickens)

Siemens’s features of good LMS part 1
From: http://www.elearnspace.org/Articles/lms.htmHave a place for learner expression (blog/portfolio)Have a place for content interaction (LMS' have this)Have a place to connect with other learners (discussion
forum - LMS' have this)Have a place to connect the thoughts of other learners in
a personal, meaningful way - i.e. using RSS and then brought back into the "learner expression tool“
Have a place to dialogue with the instructor (email, VoIP, etc. - webct has some of this)

Siemens’s features of good LMS part 1
Have a place to dialogue with gurus (apprentice) - the heart of online communities is the mess of varying skills and expertise. Gurus are people currently in industry or established practitioners of the organizing theme of the community. LMS limit the interaction to learner and instructor.
Have a place for learning artifacts of those who've gone before - i.e. content management capabilities accessible and managed by the learner. Tools like Furl, del.icio.us are examples of personal knowledge management (PKM) tools.
Be modularized so additional functionality and tools can be added based on what learners want or need...a bricolage of course tools - based on open standards - allow for incorporation of new approaches as needed.
