Common Feedback for Assignment 2 LMS/CMS

This is a very important assignment because it provides us opportunity to understand the features, tools, strengths, and weaknesses of each CMS/LMS.  How comprehensive our understanding on them would have major impacts on our final project unit.

 

Below is some suggestions/information for you to improve your paper.

  • Q: Can I select different CMS/LMS after I completed assignment 2?
  • A: Yes, throughout the semester, you may gain better understanding on different systems.  Be sure you have “comprehensive” understanding on the system you intend to use for your final project.
  • Distributed learning (Unit) is not about CMS/LMS.  Simply using them doesn’t mean we are designing distributed learning environments.  It is about integrating “tools/technologies” and “instructional strategies/pedagogies.”  What are distributed learning instructional strategies?  Many our course activities are the examples of distributed learning strategies, such as lesson discussion moderations with guidelines/instructions, Jigsaw instruction for Treatise paper with guidelines/instructions, Peer Evaluation on Treatise paper and final project unit etc.
  • Q: Do have to use CMS/LMS to deliver our final unit?
  • A: Yes, we must select a CMS/LMS to design and develop our final unit.
  • “Accessibility” is not about how easy or open to access course materials.  Accessibility refers to web page information/content being obtainable and functional to people with disabilities. It is about providing access to information for those who would otherwise lose their opportunity to use the web. To learn more: http://www.d.umn.edu/itss/support/Training/Online/access/what/
