Report from the Next Generation Learning Management System Workshop 2020
e-learning and education, Iss. 14What should the future of Learning Management Systems look like? In August 2020, 88 participants from Austria, Germany and Switzerland approached this question from various angles at the Next Generation LMS workshop, offered jointly by CampusSource, the research focus project D2L2 at the FernUni Hagen, and ETH Zurich. We report on the contents of the workshop, its outcomes and offer preliminary postulates as a guidance for future development in the field. Learning and Course Management faces internal and external challenges: users raise a broad and deep range of expectations while an increasingly connected life stimulates competition with outside players.

A Model for Lifelong Learners' Educational Records and Identity in a Next Generation Learning Management System
e-learning and education, Iss. 14The need to be competitive in a fast-changing global job market will likely lead to an increased demand for “just-in-time” educational experiences. Parallel to developments in the medical sector with virtual patient records, the paper presents a model for storing and managing educational data gathered along a lifelong learning journey, such as transcripts, artifacts, and performance analytics. Using the concept of Social Linked Data (“SOLID”), the learners instead of the educational institutions would have sovereignty over their own data, while transactional fingerprints would be used to guarantee data integrity using a federated blockchain.
