Weller\u2019s (2020) references to contractual obligations with vendors, file access limitation and a \u201cgood enough\u201d (p. 64) Learning Management System (LMS) are some of the implications I captured from the author\u2019s LMS chapter that still have relevance, not just for universities but also for organizations. \u00a0These implications are the reasons why, as a HR professional, I did not look for another LMS after my experience with implementing one in the mid-2000. Consequently, when I had to deliver compliance training during the pandemic, I went straight to Zoom to replicate a live session and I did not have a second thought for LMS.\u00a0 Interestingly, one of the panel members from the podcast on the resistance & care for the LMS, shared her experience of overlooking LMS and using Zoom instead for similar reasons (Pasquini, 2021).\u00a0 I could appreciate Weller\u2019s (2020) point of using new technologies with \u201cold ways\u201d (p. 64) before the features of the new ones are being understood.\u00a0 One of the panel members, an ed tech support, testified during the podcast of being asked the \u201cmost depressive question\u201d (Pasquini,35.30) of \u201cHow do we do that in Moodle?\u201d (Pasquini,35.34) when the user is trying to replicate the live teaching in LMS.\u00a0 I wonder what function the LMS will still have moving forward, especially considering the pandemic, and what other solutions are being contemplated for the future of ed tech.<\/p>\n
