There’s a good article posted to the Morehead State University school paper that highlights why the school opted to continue using Blackboard rather than making the switch to Moodle (which they were considering in a head to head matchup). You can read the full article here.
While Blackboard did come out on top and MSU will upgrade to Blackboard Learning 9.1 rather than changing over to Moodle, there are some good points about what really matters when it comes to a huge transition or LMS adoption, especially when there’s a legacy system in place. I’ve been through this process once already and can attest that the major drawbacks of switching to Moodle from Blackboard or another LMS really comes down to convenience, time and effort. Blackboard has a huge advantage of being the first to market with lots of schools on board already, which gives it that much more clout when it comes to consider a switch. Via evangelina chavez

Some of these skills, of course, are holdovers from the 20th century which have grown more refined or essential as the calendar clicked. But education professionals still tout them as desirable — if not outright necessary — components of contemporary classrooms. Probably more so than any other era of academic history. So they’re "new" when it comes to importance, if not concept. Via Dr. Susan Bainbridge

Ringkasan:
Dengan perkembangan zaman, para pekerja academia mau tidak mau harus bisa adjust dengan perubahan uang terjadi di dunia academia terutama dalam bidang riset dan juga mengajar. Berkembangnya dunia digital membuat akses terhadap karya ilmiah serta bahan ajar menjadi lebih terjangkau. Saat ini para pengajar dan pelaku riset juga memanfaatkan media sosial tersebut, termasuk juga Twitter. Twitter adalah suatu platform yang dapat digunakan untuk bertukar informasi dan berkomunikasi langsung dengan para pengikut. Tak jarang banyak konten akademik yang dibahas secara mendalam dan intens melalui Twitter ini.
Namun di samping kemudahan untuk mempublish artikel akademik , salah satu tantangan yaitu bagaimana bisa terus mempertahankan komunikasi dan engage dengan pengikut. Salah satu poin penting yang perlu diingat juga bahwa membuat konten akademik online tidak menjamin kan dibaca oleh orang lain. Maka dari itu perlu dilakukan proses “engagement” tersebut.
Tambahan Pemikiran:
Kita tidak bisa menutup mata dengan berkembangnya media sosial di era saat ini. Di satu sisi media sosial memang sangat membantu terkait dengan akses, menjadikan karya tulis atau artikel dapat dengan mudah di bagikan kepada masyarakat umum. Namun disatu sisi memang yang sering terlupakan adalah mengenai hal “engagement”. Dengan adanya kemudahan tersebut, semua orang dapat membagikan karya tulis ataupun memulai suatu diskusi online. Namun, masing-masing individu harus pintar dalam membagikan dan juga tetap berinteraksi dengan pengikutnya.Tentunya tautan atau tulisan yang kita bagikan ingin dibaca juga oleh orang lain. Selain itu, kita juga harus pintar mencari feedback dari orang lain yang membaca. Mungkin tidak secara langsung dengan menanyakan “apakah ada feedback? Namun dengan adanya komunikasi dan engagement yang aktif, kita bisa banyak mendapatkan informasi dari pengikut kita.

"Did you know that eLearning is around 50 years old? Yes, you read that right. Teaching is one of the first uses that organizations found for computers: researchers at Stanford University experimented with using computers to teach children math and science back in the early 1960s. And yet, one of the situations I occasionally encounter is that, while one department may be starting an eLearning initiative, there is a strong resistance to this “new” model elsewhere within – or maybe throughout – the organization."

"In order for any new venture to succeed, an element of careful planning must take place. This is especially true if the venture will affect everyone, including your entire household. An important component of integrating technology into your household education process is to develop an educational technology plan. This plan gives everyone a clear picture of what should be done and how it will be done."
