About

CQUniversity is currently evaluating two open source Learning Management Systems for adoption by 2010. CDDU is contributing to this process. This page is a collection of resources, outcomes and reflections generated by CDDU staff during the evaluation process.

CDDU's involvement in the LMS evaluation process involves 3 main tasks

1. Providing support to 3 groups of 4 faculty academics that are placing courses on the two systems.
2. Placing a selection of courses onto the two systems.
3. One representative on the evaluation committee.

One outcome of this is a list of "features" of the various systems.

Process

To inform our own input into the broader process, CDDU will

• Select a small number of courses
• Develop a description of the models/abstractions embodied in the courses and in the relevant LMSes (both the LMS they are currently in and will be moved to)
• Port the courses
• Identify common practice in existing online courses.
• Summarise and disseminate our findings
