Evolving Student Needs & Expectations
The service expectations of existing and futurestudents are rising rapidly. Teaching and learning arenot immune from this phenomenon.
Not all students follow the same path to knowledgeand insight. Individualized and personalized learningwill be hallmarks of learning in the future.
The most innovative institutions often identify the LMS
as crucial to differentiating themselves through serviceto students.

“…It seemed like our LMS was written by four differentteams of software writers who never spoke to eachother... ”
“…The LMS we use at my school is a very poor toolindeed for student-centered learning. It hammers awayat my students, without promoting the kind of self-directed, autonomous, interconnected learning that I
think is of greatest value.”
