LMS Review Project

SOU’s contract with Moodlerooms, our Learning Management System (LMS) hosting service, expired in April 2018. The end of this contract offered the opportunity to explore possibilities for hosting Moodle elsewhere and to review other LMS platforms. While we are strong proponents of Moodle, in good conscience, we needed to examine other LMS platforms to ensure that we are using the system that best meets our needs. An LMS Review task force composed of faculty, staff and students examined LMS platforms, test drove select systems, and identified systems to pilot. Communication with faculty and students was ongoing in order to render the process as inclusive as possible.
