(Concurrent Session)
Elizabeth May, Kongju National University
Is a Learner Management System for Me? (A Discursive Workshop About LMS)
Abstract
Have you considered using a Learner Management System (LMS), for example Moodle, Edmodo or Canvas, in your classroom? Learner Management Systems are one of the strongest current trends in education. They are very useful for classroom management and assignment submission / grading. For those who have no experience with them or who are nervous or anxious about using technology they can seem quite daunting. This workshop aims to provide a simple and interactive introduction to the use of LMS as well as discussing some of the issues with their use. This workshop will discuss what LMS actually are, what they can do, how to set one up, the benefits and drawbacks to using LMS and how to identify and overcome any barriers to LMS use.
