DESCRIPTION: Today, many institutions view their Learning Management Systems (LMS) as a mission critical technology and many integrate their decision making process into their strategic plans. The process of assessing the institutional needs, evaluating LMS options, making a decision to switch LMS solutions, and implementing a new LMS solution can be a very daunting and extended process as more options have appeared in the marketplace.

During the LMS SIG, institutions will have the opportunity to learn from other institutions who have recently evaluated (or are in the process of evaluating) their LMS solutions and hear how the assessment, decision making and implementation process affected a change – or not.

Please note: The focus of this SIG is on the evaluation and implementation of a LMS solution. It is not a comparison between LMS products.

Outcomes for the Day:
-Learn from institutions that have recently conducted a LMS evaluation and/or implemented a new solution
-Exchange resource information to help you plan for and implement your own LMS evaluation
-Build collaborations among institutions around a LMS review
-Network and make connections with colleagues

Topics:
- Discovery (decision making process)
- Assessment (assessing the institutional needs)
- Planning (making a decision to switch LMS solutions)
- Evaluation (evaluating LMS options)
- Implementation (implementing a new LMS solution)
