The Education Layer - 'Boxed-Out' and Shared e-Learning

摘要

This paper proposes a new paradigm to change the current online learning spaces and practices. The Education Layer is a new outside-the-box (literally) learning management system for higher educational institutions to truly accept the Internet as the largest learning hub, therefore making learning more engaging and efficient. This newly designed system is in its preliminary design stages and hopes to pave the way to a new generation of learning management environments. Its objective is to truly adapt these environments to personal learning styles and student's online daily practices and behaviours, to help them achieve their learning objectives with increased motivation and engagement, within their institution, and beyond (sharing courses and resources with other institutions).
