Hello and welcome to The eLearning Community powered by Open LMS!
My name is Ladek and I’m your host and guide.
The eLearning Community is a fantastic place to connect with others involved in online learning in order to grow, discuss and find resources about the future of education.
Because, as you know, there is always something new in eLearning!
Before I dive into the site - I want to emphasize the word “everyone.” You do not have to be a client of Open LMS to join us. The eLearning Community is specifically designed to be… Open! We are actively looking for voices, ideas, opinions, success and challenges from around the globe, regardless of the platform or technology you use.
You can think of The eLearning Community as a more exclusive, less spammy space than Facebook or LinkedIn for everyone involved in online learning. The community is 100% free, and there’s no ads, no bots, and you’re definitely not going to receive any sales pitches!
The community is your go-to resource where you can get powerful tips and advice from others in the same sector as you, follow specific topics that you’re interested in, and join groups with others that speak your language and live in your area.
If you’re looking to solve a particular eLearning challenge, head on over to the “Seeking Advice” Topic and post about it - you’ll be amazed at how quickly you’ll get help. And, don’t be surprised if you receive more than a few different ways to approach a solution!
We’ve created a number of groups that you can join to connect with others who serve the same learning audience, have the same profession or vocation in eLearning, or who speak your language!
If you find that you’re learning a lot from a particular user, head on over to their profile and “Follow” them, so that you never miss a post or update.
We know there are a LOT of great ideas in eLearning - and innovations are happening every day. But we want to stay focused on learning and connecting as a community. If you do have a particular product or service you’d like to share with others, we’ve created a special group just for this!
Finally, we know that many of you are interested in providing feedback and helping to improve Open LMS. We’ve created two special places for you to add your voice:
- First, if you have feedback or suggestions about how we can improve Open LMS services, head over to the Feedback and Suggestions topic.
- Second, if you’d like to live on the cutting edge and help us test new features and development, join the Research & Beta Testing group.
- You can also stay up to date about what’s happening at Open LMS by following the “Announcements” and the “What’s Planned?” topics.
The eLearning Community isn’t just another forum - we also do things like host webinars with experts, connect you with amazing resources and organize masterminds between small groups who are all trying to solve the same issues - and we’re just getting started!
If you have any comments or suggestions about a way we can improve the community, or a feature you’d like to see - I’m always listening! Please just ping me @ladek and we’ll set up a time to chat
The eLearning Community powered by Open LMS is a community for everyone excited about just how far we can go with the future of education. I look forward to seeing you inside!
Hola Stephen,
Mi nombre es Hernán David Camargo Luque, Director de Educación Virtual de la Fundación Universitaria Los Libertadores. Siempre me parecerá fascinante que se abran nuevas comunidades y que de verdad sean abiertas a todas las personas. Aprecio mucho el trabajo que desde OpenLMS vienen realizando y con mucho gusto estaré conectado con uds.
Espero encontrar en la comunidad los temas que hoy por hoy son de interés para la educación, por supuesto también los propondré. Creo que es el momento de destacar las bondades del eLearning más allá de la educación. Nuestro discurso debe ser enfocado sobre su impacto en la sociedady un cambio total de mindset que va más allá del uso de una tecnología. Este tipo de discursos son los que nos mueven como promotores de un concepto sobre la educación virtual, la cual pasó a ser: educación digital.
Te escribo este mensaje en español porque creo que mis sentimientos los puedo transmitir mejor así, además la comunidad abierta también debe empezar a aprender desde el lenguaje cómo nos comportamos, quiénes somos y qué nos mueve.
Un abrazo y de nuevo gracias por esta hermosa iniciativa.
Postdata: Gracias también por advertir que no hay más ads y tampoco algún tipo de speech comercial rondando por la red.
Estamos en contacto.
I'm grateful to be part of this forum. Indeed, I got so impressed when I came across the link, and I do believe I'll get the learning I dreamt to .
You do a bang-up job at this. I participate in a lot of groups and virtual events, and this is a premium source. Thank you.
