Abstract

Abstract: This paper examines the concept that proprietary learning management systems (LMS) do not necessarily stifle innovation and creativity. Propriety LMS systems such as Blackboard offer an effective means for enhancing teaching and learning in higher education settings. Four principles are examined to support this argument. Firstly, propriety LMS have enhanced the use of educational technology as they have provided the impetus for including senior management of institutions to be involved in the decision-making process of adopting technology. Secondly, the use of a propriety LMS provides professional development staff with an effective means of introducing changes to teaching and learning in higher education settings. Thirdly, alternative learning spaces can be effectively provided that do not constrain teaching and learning innovation. Fourthly, creative educational design can always limit the constraints of any propriety LMS.
