4/6/11 Meeting

The LMS Review Committee met yesterday.  The committee continues to work in LMS sandboxes and evaluate them against a checklist created by the committee to ensure that our next LMS meets all of our teaching and learning needs.  Next steps include: requesting and examining course conversions in each LMS, creating a question list for LMS references and contacting references, securing pricing quotes and hosting vendor webinars for all faculty.
