The session was a bit disjointed but the overall point was to propose a re-invention of the LMS. The analogy used involved Play Doh. Each table was given a different color of Play Doh. Tables were told to form them into a ball. The speaker then picked up each ball and squeezed it into a large mass of multi-colored clay. However, each color was easily visible and could be separated quite easily from the ball. The analogy was that each color was a different type of information within an LMS. LMSs need to be designed so that specific types of information are easily obtainable.
Current LMSs are more like silos, where content is dumped into a silo. The content is there, but trying to retrieve it is difficult.
