Nice essay about the conflict between (academic) freedom and the institutional use of an LMS. This is one of those articles that reads better from the bottom up. "Inconsistency of use of the LMS across some areas often does just that. Is a template, a rubric, some guidelines, a mandate or another means of tackling this a gross violation of freedom? Well it really depends on what you believe about freedom."
