Next-Generation Digital Learning
• Monolithic existing Learning Management Systems:
• Tightly integrated
• Less flexible
• Components mainly only accessible via LMS
• Next-generation learning is everywhere:
• Learning tools & infrastructure in diverse contexts
• Learning available where the learner is
• Loosely-coupled to formal LMS
• (in our case, Moodle)
