Is it for my institution?
Don’t get bogged down with complicated technical jargon
Just ask:
Will it improve learning for students
How we can use such a tool to achieve better results
AIM of using LMS
The learning platform should be pervasive but not intrusive.
Student learning should not be tied to a class room environment.
Students should continue their learning as and when they are ready.
Self teaching
Self teaching is a real phenomenon – see the famous “Hole in the Wall” Video here in which slum children teach themselves English and complicated topics without any formal teacher.
