Book review: Open and Distance Non-formal Education in Developing Countries
By . This book benefits enormously from being written by a single author, rather than a series of articles by different writers. This provides the book with a coherent and consistent message. More...
Is Blackboard dying? The latest instalment in LMS wars.
By . They are probably not worth much, because I haven’t used an LMS in the last 10 years. However, I was somewhat involved at UBC in the creation of WebCT, which was later bought by Blackboard, so I use that rather tenuous connection as justification for my comments. More...
Why is innovation in teaching in higher education so difficult? 1. The accreditation agencies?
By . However, responses to my recent post on learning management systems, where I suggested that the time has come to move on to other tools for online learning, also suggest other reasons why even online learning is becoming increasingly resistant to change. I will examine this issue – which I think is much more significant – in my next post. More...
Why is innovation in teaching in higher education so difficult? 2. Legacy systems
By . In my first post in this series, I looked at the role of accreditation agencies in blocking innovation. I suggested that while they may seriously inhibit disruptive innovation, accreditation agencies have not prevented online learning for credit from becoming widely established in higher education in a relatively short space of time (15 years or so), at least in North America, and this in fact is a major innovation in teaching in higher education.

Why is innovation in teaching in higher education so difficult? 3. Learning management systems
By . One of the issues here is definition. You can define an LMS so broadly that even a physical campus institution can be considered a learning management system. I want to make the distinction in particular between a ‘course’ and an LMS. By LMS I mean basically the off-the-shelf, proprietary software platforms such as Blackboard, Canvas, Brightspace, Moodle that are used in 90% or more of post-secondary institutions, at least in Canada. More...Using virtual reality to study interactive molecular dynamics
By . From a modeling perspective, the nanoscale represents an interesting domain, because the objects of study (for example, molecules) are invisible to the naked eye, and their behavior is governed by physical forces and interactions significantly different from those forces and interactions that we encounter during our day-to-day phenomenological experience. In domains like this, which are imperceptible to the naked eye, effective models are vital to provide the insight required to make research progress.
