Abstract

Learning management systems (LMSs) are receiving much attention in Nordic education. While they undoubtedly provide opportunities for educational innovations and can efficiently facilitate distance education, the enthusiasm can mask problematic consequences or preconditions which in effect sift out who may become included and who cannot. This paper points to a range of such difficulties and argues the need for voicing critical perspectives.
