Better Off With or Without Your CMS? 5 Kinds of Assessment That Can Really Help - Stephen C. Ehrmann and Steven W. Gilbert, Syllabus
Course management systems are expensive and changing rapidly. And while their educational benefits are rarely obvious, their costs are quite apparent. Do you have any way of knowing how much educational value your college or university currently derives from its use of a CMS? Do you have a strategy for increasing its value in a course or across the curriculum? Perhaps it would help if you could see more of what is actually happening when the CMS is used. There are five questions we've found to be helpful in establishing the value and improving the effectiveness of a CMS, whether its Angel, Blackboard, CHEF, or another letter of the alphabet. Each question leads to a different study design, and all five produce data that could help faculty make more effective use of the CMS while guiding support staff who work with them.
