decentralized, bottom-up innovation. And, it’s a philosophy that has

WHY HAIKU LMS?

9/28/2013 #bbcon 16

• Simplicity - we had to find a system that every use level could

embrace, from early adopter web-guru to the grand-resisters.

• Complete feature-set. Haiku LMS has all of the features we needed,

based on what teachers were using, and based on where we knew we

wanted to go.

We were able to combine the writing, peer review and collaborative

tools of Google Apps with the authentic learning tasks in Haiku for a rich

21st century educational arsenal.

*Oh yeah, and it was cheap. That doesn’t hurt either.

“Digital learning is not all about digitizing your content,

or converting it. It is about making your assets available

in a whole new way – where kids learn the content, but also

become the creator, the producer – an active participant.”
