LMS Selection Site from Simon Fraser University

http://www.sfu.ca/lidc/LMSSC/

Site to support the selection of a new CMS that is still ongoing at SFU. If you dig around there’s some generally useful material – these results of a technical comparison between WebCT and Desire2Learn by B.C.’s Ministry of Education (though I’m not sure how they got it), as well as this latest progress report that contains a lot of interesting anecdotal feedback gather from various stakeholder sonsultation sessions on what they are actually looking for (short answer – ‘better’ systems that are ‘easier’ to use, look nicer, and are infinitely customizable 😉

A look at their proposed framework presentation makes it clear how large and ambitious a process this is. It will be interesting to keep an eye on this and see if they choose anything different from the main system of choice in B.C., WebCT. – SWL

    Excellent link, thank you!

    For the Ministry of Education comparison, do you know which version of WebCT is compared with D2L? Was it Campus Edition 3.8, 4.0 or 4.1? When was the comparison made?

  2. Some further notes: I have nothing online to substantiate this, but in conversation I was told that this selection process is ‘on hold’ and that for now they will be sticking with their basic WebCT install as well as the few other competing systems on campus.
