Moving beyond Blackboard: Using a Social Network as a Learning Management System
Thacker, Christopher
Metropolitan Universities, v23 n2 p11-31 2012
Web 2.0 is a paradigm of a participatory Internet, which has implications for the delivery of online courses. Instructors and students can now develop, distribute, and aggregate content through the use of third-party web applications, particularly social networking platforms, which combine to form a user-created learning management system (LMS). The author discusses how to develop a user-created online LMS using widely available, low-cost web applications. The result of this approach is greater accessibility.
