7 Things You Should Read About NGDLE

Abstract

The notion of a next generation digital learning environment (NGDLE) was articulated in a 2015 white paper as what could replace conventional learning management systems (LMSs). In principle, the NGDLE is an ecosystem of interconnected and flexible applications that support learning through five key domains: interoperability; personalization; analytics, advising, and learning assessment; collaboration; and accessibility and universal design. The resources below explore various aspects of the NGDLE and what will be required to realize its potential.

The "7 Things You Should Read About..." series from the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI) provides a concise set of resources on emerging learning technologies meant to provide a quick understanding on the topic.
