0 likes216 views
The document discusses the concept of a 'flipped LMS', which utilizes an open platform that allows students to collaborate and manage course content outside the traditional learning management system (LMS). It highlights the benefits of this approach, including improved student experiences and enhanced access to resources, as well as features of a flat-file content management system (CMS) like Grav. Student feedback from a course pilot indicates strong support for the new design, with 81.5% of participants favoring its use in other courses.
