El texto que se presenta analiza la potencialidad del Open Social Learning (osl), aprendizaje social abierto, en la educación superior a distancia. Tras comentar algunos aspectos acerca de las herramientas tecnológicas más extendidas en este ámbito, como son los sistemas de gestión de recursos (lms por las siglas en inglés de learning management systems), se revisa el concepto de osl y sus rasgos más relevantes: la noción de abierto, el carácter social y la centralidad del aprendizaje; se repasan las oportunidades que ofrece para facilitar aspectos como la generación de entornos personales de aprendizaje (ple por personal learning environment); la creación de comunidad; la validación colectiva de los contenidos, etc. Sin embargo, la implantación del osl genera reticencias y presenta retos para su integración en los sistemas de educación superior, retos que también se analizan y que se encuentran ligados, fundamentalmente, a la gestión del proceso de cambio del modelo pedagógico y a la evaluación de los aprendizajes.

The unprecedented growth of Web 2.0 has affected learning and has made the growth of learning networks possible. Learning networks are shaped by communities to help their members acquire knowledge in specific areas and are the most notable feature of Learning 2.0, the new learning era that focuses on individual learning needs. The evolution of learning forces traditional Learning Management Systems (LMS) to incorporate more Web 2.0 features and slowly transform to Personal Learning Environments (PLEs). A Personal Learning Environment is a loosely structured collection of tools with strong social networking characteristics, which gives users the ability to create, maintain, and redistribute their own learning content. This paper is a field study of the most well-known and established LMSs and their support for specific features within several categories of tools of Web 2.0. The incorporation of Web 2.0 features within those LMSs differentiates them regarding their ability and potential to be used as PLEs.

Learning Management

Learning Management Systems (LMS) reinforce the learning process through online classroom environments. A standard LMS supports an inclusive learning environment for academic progress with interceding structures that promote online collaborative-groupings, professional training, discussions, and communication among other LMS users. Instructors should balance active learning with the use of LMS technological resources and the use of guidelines from the qualified curriculum. An LMS allows instructors to facilitate and model discussions, plan online activities, set learning expectations, provide learners with options, and assist in problem-solving with processes for decision making. An Instructor’s presence within an LMS creates an engaging learning environment. Students can retain their autonomy, enthusiasm, and motivation with LMS use. Stakeholders of the educational community must find scientific studies to support their contributions in LMS platforms to assist scholars in learning mathematics and other academic subjects.

Learning Management

Learning management systems (LMSs) are used by universities to support learning and teaching. Two-way communication and strong relationships can contribute to successful learning, however, LMSs are not generally viewed as an instrument to facilitate just that in an e-learning environment. The perceptions of lecturers and students on the eFundi LMS as communication and relationship building instrument was studied in this case by means of semistructured interviews and group-administered surveys. It was found that although students have a need for engaging in two-way communication with lecturers and costudents by means of the eFundi LMS and viewed it favourably as a relationship- building instrument, most lecturers did not make use of its interactive functionalities. Further research from a communication and relationship building perspective is therefore necessary to assure optimal LMS use in e-learning environments.
