Key Questions

The LMS Review Task Force considered these key questions:

1. What are our LMS needs (key pedagogical and administrative functionalities)?
2. Do we want to stay with Moodle (Option A), even though we are discontinuing our contract with Moodlerooms (e.g., does Moodle provide the needed functionalities; what are the trade-offs of changing the LMS in terms of training and support)? If we stay with Moodle, what are our options for:
   • Self-hosting
   • Being hosted
3. If we aren’t going to stay with Moodle (Option B), what alternatives meet the key functionalities?
4. What is involved in the transition and should be included in the detailed project plan (based on whether we go with Option A or B)? Factors include budget and other resource planning, communication, piloting, training and faculty development, migration, exporting/converting courses, integration of other applications (e.g., plagiarism detection), and implementation?
