For this assignment, I had the privilege to working with four peers Josh, Anna, Kirsten and Kari. We started off researching all of the LMSs described suggested in the assignment description; Connect, Moodle, WordPress, EdX.Edge and Eliademy. We each picked an LMS and became\u00a0familiar with it. At first, our idea was to add a description of each LMS to our report, but we quickly realized that we did not have enough space to do so. Despite that, I did research EdX.Edge and Eliademy as I hadn&#8217;t heard of these LMSs before. I was excited to hear that there were more systems out there beyond the big names I had heard of. I found it exciting to learn about how consortium and cloud based models are available. I believe the landscape of LMSs is changing and it&#8217;s exciting to see new possibilities.<\/p>\n<p>After we decided to focus our assignment on just one LMS, we decided to use\u00a0framework\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/teachinginadigitalage\/part\/9-pedagogical-differences-between-media\/\">Bates&#8217;s Section model<\/a>\u00a0to describe our selection process. Using an established framework allowed us to discuss our framework in a clear, organized manner.<\/p>\n<p>We did have some challenges. There was so uncertainty about how we should be structuring our assignment. With LMS evaluations, a short report can easily become quite lengthy. So we struggled to define, and stick to our scope. I&#8217;m happy with the outcome, I hope my group members feel the same way.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest take-way I have from this assignment, is to in the future, define the scope of our report clearly at the beginning and ensure that all members have bought into the idea.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s 9:45 p.m. and I have just submitted my first group assignment of\u00a0ETEC 565A: 66B.
