LMS or SNS?

pGeorge Siemens has an interesting posting on his Connectivism blog, where he discusses the future of learning: LMS or SNS.#0160; As part of the dicussion, he writes/ppemquot;Most organizations currently use a learning management system (LMS)
such as Moodle or Desire2Learn. These systems are content-centric.
Their objective is to organize and manage content, just as Google did
in early 2000. Because higher education is particularly enamored with
content, an LMS is a critical service. It’s completely the wrong model,
however, and this will become increasingly apparent in the next several
years. br //em
/ppemTo survive, LMS vendors will need to transform their offerings on the social network model of Facebook. ELGG
is an excellent alternative to an LMS, but most organizations are not
yet willing to accept a network-centric tool as an alternative to
Moodle (disclaimer or bragging – you choose: I was on ELGG’s initial
advisory board that never fully materialized, and used the software for
several pilot programs in 2005 with Red River College and with Duke
Corporate Education). ELGG is a better model of what learning
will/should look like than any of the current contenders in the space.quot;/em/ppOf course, I agree with George – do you?/ppRead the a href=http://www.connectivism.ca/?p=192full posting here /aand of course the comments from othersem.#0160; br //em/pp/p
