Online Tools

Learning Management Systems can provide the formal structure for informal learning tools. How we learn is supported by the interactive tools accessible to the learner in the online learning environment.

Teachers need to decide which tools;

authentically support the learner and learning (Morrison, 2016)
do not increase the cognitive load in learning (Skulmowski, A., & Xu, K. M. (2022).
create opportunities for self-regulation (Carter et. al, 2020)

These tools can be linked in the LMS.

Examples of online tools include any of the Google suite of tools for learning, extensions or add ons, game-based learning tools, collaboration tools (Das, 2022)

Social Media

Building online communities of learners can be facilitated through Learning Management Systems and social media.

Within the LMS, groups of students can communicate and collaborate on projects. Creating a video for YouTube, a reel for Instagram, or using video demonstrations on #LearnOnTikTok are some ways the LMS can enhance learning.

Teachers include social media in the LMS learning environment to support active learning and critical thinking in online education. This enhances the learning environment and builds communities of learners.

Video and Conferencing

Learning Management Systems include video options to meet different objectives in learning.

Video for Communication and Interaction: Google Meet, Blackboard Collaborate, Zoom, Microsoft Teams

Video for Learning: YouTube, Khan Academy, Course Hero, Sprouts

Video for Assessment: creating video and audio files

The Learning Management System
