#8 made my heart sing.
Thanks for this article, rgibson1
I'm going to share this at our team meeting today I think it's interesting that faculty folks think current LMS will go away. :smileysilly:heh! But I'm encouraged to see the uptick for Virtual and augmented reality.:smileycool:

I think that Microsoft is going through a good renaissance at the moment. The traditional programs as we knew them are no longer a viable business model, but these cloud based solutions are fairly revolutionary and I think that Microsoft will be able to adapt.
The beef with the "current" LMS is that even though it is an online and web-based platform, it is generally completely silo-ed from the internet. It is a strange conundrum, and the general though of the LMS today is that the platform has been stagnant since the 90's. But with Canvas and D2L really spearheading the "open" movement, I feel like we are breaking through and making some real significant progress. The next generation of LMS is going to embrace the openness of the internet and not merely despite or eschew it.
Is there any other surveys that pin LMSs this high on the lists? I'd really like to see the roots of that level of dissatisfaction - whether the LMS doesn't go far enough, or is too cumbersome, or just a general tech-phobia.
With its non-stop development, I cannot wait to see tons of amazing improvements in education technologies. It seems that we are moving closer and closer to the appearance of artificial intelligence in a class. It will be a new step forward. Just dreaming.
Talking about the present, has anybody tried to stream lessons? How does it work?
