Leaving Your LMS

Ever feel constrained by your Learning Management System (LMS)? Are there activities that you want to do with your students but your LMS doesn't support them? I use Moodle for my current classes and at times, I've found it a bit constraining. For instance, the Moodle discussion forums can be a little boring if you use them in the same way ALL semester long. Instead, what I do is change up my interactive activities every week. So, one week, I'll have two Moodle forums; the next week a group Wiki and a discussion forum; the next week a VoiceThread presentation with a Moodle discussion, etc. It works to break up the boredom of using the same Moodle tools. The trick is to not confuse the students with too much technology in too many places.
