Online education is growing faster than at any point in history, but when compared to today's social web technologies, existing learning management systems fall short of delivering an engaging or relevant online learning experience.
At GoingOn we are pioneering new ways of enabling social learning pedagogies in an online environment. The concept of social learning is rooted in the notion that knowledge is socially constructed and that learning is best achieved through dialogue, collaboration, and transparent sharing of information across a community. To date, most online learning systems have been built around a model that does little more than replicate a correspondence course. But the emergence of the social web opens up a host of new possibilities that will unquestionably change the face of online learning and antiquate first-generation learning management systems.
GoingOn has integrated its community platform with today's leading open source learning management systems, such as Moodle and Sakai, to provide the next generation of socially-enabled learning solutions. Whether you are just getting started with online learning, thinking about moving to open source solutions or looking to extend your current system, GoingOn can help meet those needs.
