LMS features

The following diagram is an interesting take on LMS and how they can incorporate recent web2.0 elements.

I found the diagram interesting from a perspective of collaborative tools.
I believe that Moodle has an plugin for podcasting but have not seen this ideal use for corporate podcasting in other LMS, i.e: having looked at Blackboard/CBT, Oracle Learning Management (OLM) and Thomson NETg – this feature is currently missing, leading to detached solutions.

If we look deeper it does mention:

• the use of Blogs.
• the use of wiki’s
• the use of survey’s
• a mention of some eLearning Authoring Tools in two places?

Just coming back to Podcasts, if we look at ILT – also known as Information and Learning Technologies.
This describes the methods of using technology to enhance the learning experience.

For example:

• Using audio within a powerpoint presentation
• Using Digital video/images
• Use of interactive quizzes – one example would be voting on a streamed set of content
• Using Podcasts for notes, revision and additional value add information
• Collaborative document development – Sharepoint Services and Electronic Document management systems are some examples. Another example is to use Documentum – A content management environment

There are certainly areas of overlap and hidden opportunities within the diagram!
