digital pedagogy and LMS

The term digital pedagogy is being thrown around and its is clear that it is highly misunderstood. By putting a lesson online, it does not qualify as pedagogy. A teacher that understands and embraces pedagogy, knows that it is where philosophy and practice finds ways to interact. It is the exchange of information so that learning can happen, not limit to a classroom or even a certain number of people.

According to the article, LMS are limited and they control how online teaching takes place. It created learning that took place behind a screen and learners' knowledge are tested through online quizzes. LMS  settled for less innovative way of teaching and gave the illusion that online teaching was better and simpler.

My solution between LMS and pedagogy is to create proper digital education. It should motivate teachers to find creative ways to use pedadagy without eliminating the personal interaction in classrooms.
