What’s Next: Course Creation Systems - Howard Strauss, Syllabus

Course management and learning management systems already do a fine job of organizing courses and providing the communications infrastructure for them. Portal-like features abound, course content can easily be plugged in, and channels or modules can be added to do just about anything from equation editing to voice annotation. All the major players have good systems that are getting evolutionarily better. While there is still a lot of important and interesting tweaking to be done, learning management systems only manage courses that have already been developed. It’s time to consider a course creation system (CCS); software that will assist in the creation of courses that could be dropped into a learning management system.
