In summary, it seems that the future of public K-12 school systems will be the full introduction of LMS to broaden learning options to parents and students alike. As internet access becomes available to everyone, access to LMS will also increase. #MEDA5400emerging
In my experience and ETSU students like me, there are certain fees for having a fully online based class. There is no fee to have the platform, as most in-class classes use D2L for supplemental learning. But fully online driven classes incur fees. #MEDA5400emerging
There is not much credible statistical data on specific costs for K-12 school systems that may want to adopt this kind of learning platform, but as stated, it may be a very viable option for many people who want to have full access to how their child learns. #MEDA5400emerging
In higher learning institutions, the ability to attend a desired program, even if it is long distance, because the school provides an online Program of Study is a very desirable aspect, as it is ultimately a great return investment for these institutions. #MEDA5400emerging
Learning management platforms, like D2L, will make the public school system more accessible and provide more options for parents of students. Parents can decide what is best for their students quality educational experience. #MEDA5400emerging
As learning management systems perform to streamline classroom tasks, their levels of individual students analysis and readiness to provide immediate student achievement reports throughout the semester works in favor of teachers, students, parents, and admins. #MEDA5400emerging
Attendance can be taken through the specific learning management system platform itself, and also allows testing to be graded and logged immediately, which reduces the teachers effort on these tasks. #MEDA5400emerging
Learning management systems allow teachers to focus more on quality teaching instead of performing monotonous tasks, such as taking attendance or grading. #MEDA5400emerging
There are many different LMS platforms. Most ETSU students will be familiar with D2L, but there are others, such as Moodle, that allow for an online class platform. #MEDA5400emerging
An LMS provides an online learning platform for teachers to either fully drive a class online or use it as a supplemental/remedial tool in addition to in-class instruction. #MEDA5400emerging
