Battle of the LMS: A panel discussion

Abstract

Since the dawn of online learning, educational institutions have wrestled with evaluating Learning Management Systems (LMS) to find a solution that best meets their many and varied needs. These needs include the pedagogical, technological and organisational, but central to each of these is the need for a platform that maintains and extends connections between learners and educators. In this light-hearted panel discussion, our presenters will attempt to prove that their chosen LMS is the best. Through this absurd adversarial tussle, the audience will come to appreciate the nuances and complexities of LMS partisanship and some limitations of evaluative frameworks.
