Digital Learning - beyond eLearning and Blended Learning

Continuing trends and a milestone shift

Using learning management systems strategically and consistently across courses can help students and faculty save time and energy.

Writing well-researched content containing over 1,200+ words is often a requirement to gain a higher position in Google search results. When trying to score more points with SEO, web writers often forget that it’s not a search engine that reads posts, but a human being. 

Your iLearn unit should be laid out according to the iLearn Template to provide a consistent online learning experience for students.

Every instructor can expect their college will provide a course shell on the learning management system they support. The shell may be largely empty, or it may be completely filled with the materials for the course, or it may be partially filled. Student are likely to be enrolled in your course shell without the instructor’s intervention; this is accomplished by programs and scripts that share information between the school student information system and the learning management system.

Last week I led a webinar for Contact North, a nonprofit corporation funded by the government of Ontario, that was meant as an update to last year’s session on the LMS.

Whether you love it or hate it (or are somewhere in between), video platforms are likely here to stay and not just a sideshow. To best understand the changes, the core argument of the webinar is that you need to look at user adoption – the human and social issues involved – even more than the technology roadmaps of the platforms. This is a topic I’ve mentioned in several panel discussions and notes to our EdTech Market Analysis subscribers, but I build out the argument more fully in this webinar.
