When choosing online learning technologies like LMS or platforms for your own courseware, it is wise to think outside of the PC box. Consider an LMS that is fully integrated with Apple software. You’ll discover tools like Apple Podcast Producer, which allows course authors to record, upload, and convert learning content into a podcast for broader, more convenient distribution.
By using LMS tools such as the text editor, question bank, and video, assessment, and quiz tools, organizations can reduce the costs inherent in traditional training methods.
Courseware platforms and LMS allow free creation of learning and training modules. Educators and subject matter experts can use the creation and distribution tools to sell and deliver content.
With more organizations adopting their own learning management system, the traditional style of creating and distributing knowledge is being redefined. Whether it’s corporate training or classroom pedagogy, interactive tools like LMS and Web 2.0 technologies are seeing the end of the days of one person ruling the floor and simply delivering information to an all-seeing audience. listened Now students’ ears can finally join forces with their eyes, mouth and hands.
That is not to say that instructional design, the curriculum-based pedagogy in which one person delivers information and others receive it, no longer has its rightful place in a learning system. While the shift from conferencing to hands-on learning and collaboration opens up new educational possibilities, simple conferencing is a vital aspect of any educational format. The lectures set the framework for students to work their way through the course material. In a training course hosted through a learning management system, lectures can be delivered in an attractive and convenient way, via audio or video.
Within Apple’s built-in course creation toolkits, podcasts are an increasingly popular learning tool, with an exciting array of educational possibilities. Podcasts are convenient and optimally portable, accommodating many learning styles. They can be used to supplement and reinforce course learning material or to refresh learning activities. They can serve as announcements, reminders, and updates for all who use the learning management system to hear. Podcasts can be used to distribute interviews and discussions, or to inform students what to expect in the next lesson or activity.
With Apple Podcast Producer, podcasts are easy to create, produce, and share. And of course, listeners don’t need an iPod to listen to them. Podcasts are often in the form of mp3 files, making them accessible to all students. By using group communication, such as Google groups, social networking sites, and wikis, in combination with learning management systems, trainers and educators have an increasing variety of engaging learning tools at hand. And taking advantage of those resources is often much easier than one might imagine.
