This summer I had the opportunity to attend the D2L Fusion conference in San Diego, CA. This was an amazing experience to meet with other educators, Learning Technology Specialists, System Administrators, and others from around the nation.
Education was represented from K-12 to higher education. Stories, ideas, best practices, experiences, frustrations, and emerging technologies were shared.
D2L is launching a new version of their LMS in December. Like any new technology that is introduced, great anticipation is accompanied by great skepticism. In many cases D2L has listened to its users, faculty and students, to enhance many features. Whether they work the way they are supposed to remains to be seen.
The challenge to faculty is to find ways to optimize this powerful learning system to enhance meaningful learning for our students the most effectively and efficiently.
