Learning Management Systems

 Though I have limited experience with using Learning Management Systems (LMS)​ I can see how they can either make or break a course. As mentioned in some of the videos and reading, technology by itself cannot change or do anything in terms of learning. It is how the technology is used. Too often the functions of the LMS are viewed as a good in itself. It is a tool. It is potentially a very effective one but simply have a large number of technological functions and options is not enough. Each teacher needs to understands the strengths and weaknesses of the LMS and integrate it with the desired objectives. I am currently using Moodle. The plug-in options are very appealing. https://moodle.org/plugins/
