Online Learning Management System Transitions - Florence Kizza, Greentree Gazette
At this year's ITC E-Learning conference in St. Petersburg, Florida, several presenters and their schools were in the midst of, or had just completed, switching their learning management systems. Those sessions got me wondering, what inspires a campus to undertake such a major switch and to consume the necessary time, money and resources? Renee Aitken, John Primo and Chip Stoll helped me see the matter from their viewpoints. As a newly hired director of the Center of Instructional Technology and e-learning at Ohio Dominican University in 2005, Renee was told that the LMS in their use would no longer be supported. John Primo looked forward to Rose State’s LMS purchase as a consortium deal to maximize purchasing power. And Chip Stoll began to look at other LMS options when the system they were using was acquired by another company.
