Week 2 Comment 1 - Kimberly Coast

This week's reading was much calmer than last week. As I worked through the reading I realized that there was much more information in section 6 than in 7 or 8. I was thinking that I could deal with the cost of LCMS versus regular face to face (F2F) instruction, but that could be summed up in one sentence... It is WAY cheaper, like half the cost, to use LCMS in the long run than F2F instruction. I also considered describing ADL, Standards, SCORM but considered that something that I would easily remember. Discussing the differences between LMS and LCMS seemed mute as I did that last week and I believe that my time is best spent discussing LCMS in more depth this week. :)

My comment:

Kim, I, too thought about how we defined and explored LMSs and CMSs and I am glad that we got a good grasp of these concepts to be able to quickly acknowledge the difference between these systems and LCMSs.

I like how you summarized LCMS as 'what you want...' because it seems that LCMS is definitely accessed by the user once permissions are granted by the creator and organization. The LCMS becomes that user's PLE which allows the user to acquire and incorporate his or her own style of learning while learning content designed by the business.

Individual education is on the horizon for sure as education must eventually grasp that children don't learn equally. Education must reshape itself to the needs of the children and not to the tenures of the teachers.
