]]> Comment on The Un-LMS: Moving to a Personal Learning Environment by Jeff Bohrer http://www.mura.org/2009/08/the-un-lms-moving-to-a-personal-learning-environment/comment-page-1/#comment-927 Jeff Bohrer Tue, 09 Feb 2010 21:11:09 +0000 http://www.mura.org/?p=2022#comment-927 Thanks for posting this very important presentation. The following points by Mott were quite intriguing to me: 1. PLE values (student-centric, openness) more closely match the values of the institution than do the values of the CMS 2. Lack of continuity from semester to semester exists in the CMS. It's the "chief demerit of the course mgmt system" 3. Stand-alone gradebook. This is a highly important progression in the future of the course management system. 4. Get rid of the dropbox? He says that instructors can now say, "don't upload your paper, just give me the URL for where your paper lives on the web" and "maybe one of the requirements for being digitally literate in 2009 is being able to publish a web viewable document". Very cool. However, I know that many instructors value the ability to zip and download all the submitted papers for an assignment -- something the digital dropbox currently offers. Good stuff! I'll be following Jon Mott and his work at BYU more closely these days. Thanks for posting this very important presentation. The following points by Mott were quite intriguing to me:
