LMSExperts already predicting the “Death of the LMS?”

•To truly learn, students need to get out of their LMS shells. They need to engage the world around them – publishing content for people other than classmates to read, and participating in the global discussion that surrounds the topics covered in class.•Students need to think critically and blog their experiences for others to read.•Students need to work collaboratively with other students in their class.•Students need to socialize with other students that aren’t in the same classes they are in.•Students need to continue learning on a particular subject beyond the last class date.
