The document discusses a presentation given at the 2017 Next Generation Digital Learning Environments conference. The presentation was given by Marianne Schroeder, Maureen Wideman, and Clint Lalonde and addressed the shift from single, monolithic learning management systems (LMS) to disaggregated, next generation digital learning environments (NGDLE) composed of interconnected applications. NGDLEs allow for greater pedagogical flexibility compared to LMS and include functionality like personalization, analytics, assessment, collaboration, and accessibility. The presenters sought audience feedback on whether institutions are noticing this shift, how it aligns with technology trends, and the challenges and opportunities of this vision.

This paper was presented at the Center for English Language Communication Symposium 27 May, 2013 in Singapore. The findings indicate that students perceived positive benefits of learning with mobile technology and iTunes University. However there is a need for further research regarding whether or not students would gain greater benefit if they choose the content themselves.
How to Create a Successful Blended Learning ProgramLorna Keane
Implementing a successful blended learning program begins with finding the right resources. Using an all-in-one learning system makes it easy to blend, flip, or tilt your classroom in a few simple steps. In this presentation, we look at what blended learning is, why so many educators are making the move to blended learning environments, and what it takes to make them succeed.

Transforming Learning through Infrastructure: Digital Credentials & the eTJonathan Mott
Learning transformation is limited by the current higher education infrastructure. Transforming higher education will require a different approach to learning technology, one that is fundamentally learner (rather than institution or faculty) centric.
Learning Objects, a Cengage business unit, provides a holistic, learner-centric approach to curriculum design, delivery, and reporting. While Learning Objects can support traditional courses and semesters, it is not hard-wired to do so. Rather, it is built to support learners and their goals, regardless of the amount of time they study or the activities (e.g., courses) they engage in.
It was my pleasure to share these ideas and best-in-class solutions for Human Capital Management at the at the 46th LTEN conference in Nashville, TN with my colleague and co-presenter John Constantine.

LMS stands short for Learning Management System.
Learning, because you use it to deliver education courses or training programs.
Management, because it helps you organize these courses (create them, change them, assign them to students, grade them, etc).
System, is just a fancy word that translates to "software". An LMS is a computer program.
Just like Word helps in writing documents and Gmail helps in managing the emails, an LMS is a software program that helps create, manage and deliver eLearning courses.
An LMS is the "engine" that powers eLearning, and in the most common form it consists of two separate parts:
- A server component that performs the core functionality (creating, managing and delivering courses, authenticating users, serving data and notifications, etc.)
- A user interface that runs inside your browser as a web (like Gmail or Facebook), that is used by administrators, instructors and students .

From Recommendations to Reality: Designing Effective Online TutorialsLindsey McLean
This presentation will introduce two sets of design considerations for the development of online information literacy instruction and show how these considerations were implemented in the construction and implementation of Loyola Marymount University's First Year Seminar information literacy tutorial. The first set of best practices focuses on the visual and technical elements of a tutorial including User Control, Visual and Information Clarity, Navigation, and Accessibility. The second set addresses "best practices" in online instructional design and pedagogy and includes categories for Embedding Communication, Incorporating Active Learning, and Designing Test Questions. In order to be broadly applicable, each set of design considerations is intentionally formatted so that it may serve as rubric for assessing any online tutorial and will be made available both online and as handout for presentation attendees. This presentation also identifies the most common types of active learning exercises observed within the online tutorial environment, allowing attendees to gather ideas for maximizing good design elements and embedding active learning components into their own online tutorials.
But I've Never Taken an Online Course Before!Clint Lalonde
Virtual presentation to the Faculty of Education at the University of Victoria on July 16, 2020. As concerns about COVID continue to impact planning for the fall term, it appears likely that online learning will play a significant role in course delivery. For many instructors, developing and teaching an online course will be a new experience. The same will be true for many incoming students who are now facing the potential that their entire fall term may be delivered in a format that they are unfamiliar with. As their instructor, there are some strategies you can employ that can help alleviate the fears and concerns learners new to online learning may have about taking online courses. In this session, we'll take a look at the student experience taking an online course for the first time. What are some of the common challenges many will face? What kind of impact is COVID having on their learning experience, and what are some practical ways through course design and facilitation that you can help ensure they will be successful learners.
Open Technology - The 3rd Pillar of Open EducationClint Lalonde
Presentation to KPU March 30, 2017 for Open Education Week.
The Open Education movement has gained a great deal of traction in the 10 years since the groundbreaking 2007 Capetown Declaration on Open Education, due largely in part to the increasing acceptance and use of Open Educational Resources (OER), like open textbooks. Recently, a second wave of open educators have begun to emphasize the importance of a new emerging pedagogical model enabled by open education, referred to as open pedagogy.
In addition to OER and open pedagogy, a third pillar of the open education movement revolves around the importance of open technologies. The 2007 Capetown Declaration sates that, "open education is not limited to just open educational resources. It also draws upon open technologies that facilitate collaborative, flexible learning and the open sharing of teaching practices that empower educators to benefit from the best ideas of their colleagues."
In British Columbia, a small ad hoc group of educators known as the BC Open EdTech Collaborative has been quietly experimenting with different open technologies that have the potential to support open education practices, and with different models to be able to support users of open education technologies.
In this session, Clint Lalonde will talk about the connection between open education and open source software, the importance of open technologies to the open education movement, and will demonstrate some of the open education technologies that the BC Open EdTech Collaborative have been exploring.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Editor's Notes
BCNET Learning Management Systems Working Group –> Learning Technologies Community of Practice
Changing nature of the LMS
NGDLE – mean anything?
Administer LMS? Use LMS? Support people who use LMS? Sell LMS?
In the beginning, we had LMS. Handy tool to get content online. Maybe had forums and a dropbox. Circa 1997
Circa 2007 – wiki’s, blogs,
LMS 2017 – everything.
How do you make room for faculty who want pears?
LMS 2017
Framing this discussion today around NGDLE
Paper came out in 2015 after year research (funded by Gates Foundation)
‘consultations with more than 70 community thought leaders’.
Tools such as the grade book and mechanisms for distributing materials such as the syllabus are invaluable for the management of a course, but these resources contribute, at best, only indirectly to learning success.
Won’t abuse Lego metaphor
More than….
Interoperability and Integration - linchpin of the NGDLE. The ability to integrate tools and exchange content and learning data enables everything else. Relies on data standards (LTI, Caliper, Common Cartridge, QTI)
Personalization – not just at student level, but also department, program institutional level – signature pedagogies – make room for some bananas
Analytics, Advising, and Learning Assessment – Learning analytics & Integrated planning & advising systems
Collaboration - The NGDLE must support collaboration at multiple levels and make it easy to move between private and public digital spaces. Pedagogocial stance – collaboration is fundamental to many forms of learning. Break down the walled garden & allow for public space pedagogies
Accessibility and Universal Design – Built into NGDLE systems from the start, not as an afterthought
