Learning Technology Innovation - Different Architectures
0 likes648 views
The document discusses the impact of technology architectures on their usability and integration into systems like learning management systems (LMS), focusing on Blackboard and Learning Tool Interoperability (LTI). It highlights the limitations of existing building blocks and emphasizes the role of APIs in facilitating content integration. Additionally, it reflects on the paradox of technology's role in increasing workload rather than alleviating it in higher education.
Learning Technology Innovation - Different Architectures
- 2. Technologies are not neutral. How they are built affects the way they are seen & used
- 4. Blackboard Building Blocks » Mini-application that runs within BlackboardLearn » Looks like the rest of Blackboard » Bridge to an external system » Pull in content, call web services, integrate applicaitons
- 5. Limitations » Building Blocks are specific to Blackboard » They are written in Java » Require administrator access to install & setup
- 6. How about LTI? Learning Tool Interoperability
- 7. The LTI standard allows for third-party tool providers to easily plug their applications into any learning management systems.
- 8. Learning Tool Interoperability » An open standard » Integrates external content » Providing user data for external systems » Is two-way

- 19. Professor Vann said technology was often held up as the solution to workload stress, but the reality had been the opposite. “We’ve added service rather than reduced cost,” he said. - The Australian, Traditional teachers taking on greater workload, May 13, 2015
