The time has come for a major redesign of learning environment tools for classroom and online learning. Until now the design of Learning Management Systems has focused primarily on the "management" aspects of courses, mostly informing and guiding students on what they should do next in their role as a student. Schoology introduces a new user-centric approach to learning. Schoology is a learning platform designed to immerse students in an easy-to-use collaborative environment that strengthens the connection between them and their instructors. Schoology streamlines content creation and management, makes communication effortless, and integrates third-party tools and content seamlessly into a single user-centric platform available on any device, including mobile. Come learn why 4 million students and educators worldwide use Schoology.
OUTCOMES: Understand the paradigm shift happening in learning management and the drivers behind LMS adoption in 2014 * Understand why the user-centric model greatly benefits students today * Understand why communication, collaboration, and instructional integration are the cornerstones of an effective LMS
