CAS/CMS/LWS Do you fit into a "management system"? -or- How I stopped worrying and learned to love CourseWorks.
Define Terms • CAS – Course Administration System • CMS – Content Management System • LWS – Learning and Work Spaces These make up what we currently think of as a “Course Management System”
+ CAS + CMS LWS • Course Management System is made up of component parts • These parts interact and overlap • Broader acceptance of the system takes time (but important topic on campuses) =Course Management System like CourseWorks
CAS • More development here (who, what, when, where) • Student management (feeds, grades, tracking, access) • Departmental concerns (shopping, accreditation, dept info, requirements, reporting) • Course information (syllabus, schedule, course evaluation)
CMS • Moderate development (gray = room to develop) • Asset management (images, audio, datasets, library reserves, portable documents, text-to-speech). • Organizing the content. Portfolios (within course, throughout career). Course “Hard Drive” on each student’s desktop • Discussion (PDA-based, email, IM, cell phone) • Lecture Notes (synchronous auto-capture, student question capture) • Instant incorporation of digital texts, images, A/V. • Content not tied to class (plays across sections)
LWS • Less development • Tools (annotate, analyze, juxtapose) • MSE • Third Space • Annotation/notes software • Exportability of tool to work within content (Comment board embedded in text, annotate directly “on” an image) • Manipulate previous work to inform future work
CAS+CMS+LMSCourse Management System?More than that… is it a Learning Platform?EduOS?
