Today in class, we talked about a variety of learning management system options. UGA is just beginning the process of evaluating our options for our next centrally-supported system. How will we choose? It is a lengthy process, so we are starting now. The first step is to assess how the current system is used and the needs of the user community. This involves doing as much as we can to get feedback from faculty, staff, and student users. Want to contribute? Go to the
LMS Executive Committee Web site and click Participate! Community feedback, along with technical requirements from the system side, goes into a "requirements document." We will then compare the requirements to the systems available, and narrow the field of possibilities. From there, we will invite the user community do some testing and provide feedback about those tests. Using that information, along with cost information, we can write a recommendation to the administration. Stay tuned!

Although I would love to help UGA out Sherry, the task of choosing the next LMS seems very daunting. All I can say is good luck!
ReplyDeletei submitted some feedback using the form. it's tough to remember what i liked about each of the systems that we saw just a few weeks ago! i'm sure that further along in the process you've probably already made plans for this, but giving a questionnaire with more specific LMS tools/aspects described would be useful to guide my thoughts!
ReplyDeleteI have used eLC, Web CT at UGA as a student and occasionally as a section designer. I never thought it could be as complex as it looks...but it is really complex.I will provide my feedback as and when needed.
