The Hidden Curriculum of the LMS
Learning Management Systems do not just organise course content. They also organise thought.
In this blog post, I explore how the design of LMS platforms subtly shapes educational practice and limits pedagogical possibilities. These platforms carry values and assumptions that often go unquestioned.
