Evaluation and Recommendation Report (Winter 2010)

Based on a year-long analysis of student needs and an evaluation of several Learning Management Systems (LMS), we are pleased to announce our decision to adopt a new system to replace, our LMS. The new system, called Moodle, is currently in operation in the Technology Resource Center. In addition to supporting the use of “traditional” online content and activities in an intuitive and effective manner, Moodle also offers a wide array of features to support innovative pedagogical techniques. In particular, Moodle excels at providing student-centered, active learning activities. Moodle was designed to be extremely flexible for teachers and learners and it can be downloaded and used on any computer anywhere as long as there is an internet connection.
