Abstract

The Limitations of Learning Management Systems for Providing a Student-Centered Learning Environment Compared with the Possibilities of Web 2.0

Annotation

It is time to accept that Learning Management Systems are by their nature predetermined only to replicate the old mental model of education. Authentic Learning in this era of ICT requires a new model, thereby, making it possible to overcome the centuries-old paradigm which now stands in the way of achieving revolutionary changes in education. This article describes the practical realization of a model with students at the center of activities in an online graduate studies course in the system Moodle. AUTHENTIC LEARNING with the use of LMS Moodle is with certain limitations possible but strained. A more natural solution for LEARNING PERSONALISATION is the use of Web 2.0 and its goal oriented services.
