Making Learning Management Systems More Flexible

Here's a really great piece by Michael Feldstein and Patrick Masson in eLearn Magazine, talking about the need for more flexibility in learning management systems. Quote:

Virtual classrooms should be more flexible than their physical counterparts rather than less so. Do you teach art history? Then you need an image annotation tool. But probably a different one than the image annotation tool needed to teach histology. Foreign language teachers may want voice discussion boards to check student accents. Writing teachers should have peer editing tools. History teachers should have interactive maps. And so on.
