| Abstract Text: | As the nature and adoption of information technology in the learning environment changes, instructional technology professionals and faculty must work collaboratively to ensure that learning management systems (LMS’s) improve the quality of teaching and learning, contain or reduce rising costs, and provide greater access to higher education. Institutions of higher education will need to use learning-centered technologies to make instruction more convenient, accessible, and effective. To address these needs, the staff of Distance Education and Learning Technology Applications (DELTA) will develop an enterprise LMS transition plan. This plan will assess current needs at the institution, examine the various commercial and open source LMS products available, and describe the methods that will be used to implement and assess them. | ||
