IT@UC LMS Task Force Seeks Community Feedback
The IT@UC LMS Task Force has been evaluating UCs current Learning Management System (LMS) Blackboard Learn, as well as conducting a market scan to identify potential alternative LMS platforms. The task force is composed of faculty members, instructional designers, IT staff, and students.
In an effort to collect feedback and data from faculty and students, several scheduled scripted demonstrations will be open to the UC community. The task force will also host several events in which faculty and students will have the opportunity to spend 1015 minutes to test out the different LMS platforms. Following each of these events, the participants will be asked to complete a short survey about their experiences.
Information on how to participate in usability testing and attending the demonstration sessions is below. These sessions are open to the community and do not require an RSVP.
