INTEGRATION

“There’s no buy button for education.”

Mike Sharkey, Apollo Group

The original design of the LMS was transactional and largely administrative in nature, hence the “M” in “LMS.” The function of the traditional LMS is to simplify how learning is scheduled, deployed, and tracked as a means to organize curricula and manage learning materials.

Open Participatory

LearningEcosystem

“Unfortunately the large suppliers to the consumer market don’t have much interest in the special requirements of educational institutions … However, the educational segment is more than capable of guiding its own destiny with respect to making digital resources ‘work’ for the needs of their stakeholders. By working together to solve this problem, institutions reap huge savings by not becoming dependent on closed solutions.”

- Dr. Rob Abel, Chief Executive of IMS Global (emphasis added)
