“Schools on Facebook” (in private beta) that is a private, secure application (on Facebook) that can be skinned with a schools branding and connect with their current technology infrastructure. It doesn’t compete with but complements CMS and LMS systems by focusing on socialization and relationship building; more on how below.
We want to change the conversation about the internet in education from one of using the web to “manage courses” to one about using the web to facilitate the relationships that develop on campuses already.

What are the factors that will bring about a fundamental paradigm shift in learning? For starters, I believe we need to press onward in our efforts to make teaching and learning technology (both tools and content) more modular and interoperable. We also need to do a better job of leveraging the network effect, connecting more learners to more content and more fellow-learners. Finally, none of this will be of any significance if we don’t doggedly stay focused on learning (instead of on making administrative and teaching tasks more efficient).

Georgetown University’s Peter Farkas recently commented: “Now the choice of an enterprise learning system depends upon reliability, scalability, and ease of use.” And responsive technical support when it is needed—a requirement for any enterprise system.
discipline-based “conferences”

- There have been some discussions among eLearning Hub’s Jason Cole—one of the San Franciso MoodleMoot organizers , Sakai Executive Director Michael Korcuska, Avron Barr formerly with ADL, and Lisa Petrides and her colleagues at the Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education (ISKME) about collaboration with the discipline-oriented education conferences. Since many faculty have limited travel opportunities and would choose the conference of their discipline, incorporating sessions on instructional technology could extend beyond the enthusiastic early-adopter faculty into the early and late majority. Early discussions are beginning with these discipline-oriented organizations to learn more about their interests.

I think LMS and LCMS are completely outdated, the way they’re conceived and designed.

The End in Mind » Learning Technology Customers

Interesting specilation about what an LMS would look like if the students, not the institution were the customer (isn't that what we are, in part, trying to simulate with our selection process?)

we need to focus on instructional design to achieve the highest quality and most effective pedagogy
The limitation and problem we are facing is our ability to adapt, manage technological change, create technological awareness, provide faculty professional development, and to take the TIME to work with our faculty for the execution of the next generation of learning

Blackboard remains first and foremost a semester-based, content-delivery oriented, course management system. The software is not (at least noticeably) evolving to become a student-centered learning management system.
