Meeting Agenda

Date Time Location Wednesday April 22 3:30-5:00pm Faculty Senate Chambers, DH Hill Library, 2nd Floor West Wing How Far Have We Come in Exploring Moodle as an Alternative LMS to Vista? After receiving an affirmation to investigate open source learning management systems (LMSs) from faculty and staff attending two open sessions on the state of campus LMSs in fall 2007, NC State University begin investigating Moodle with a small pilot in spring 2008. Led by the Moodle Pilot Implementation team, comprised of both college IT and DELTA staff, the Moodle investigation continues as NC State University examines the feasibility of utilizing Moodle as our enterprise-wide LMS. Part of the investigation involves understanding our current LMS options, the various technical and support issues that underpin any technical change, and an assessment of both faculty and user experiences with Moodle to date. Yet another part involves understanding how to better put together a longer term, inclusive steering committee for collaborative input into an enterprise LMS service. At this roundtable, staff involved in the Moodle pilot will briefly show a Moodle class, share key findings and assessment results to date, discuss next steps for Moodle @ NC State, and solicit feedback and input from TLTR roundtable participants. Please join us! All welcome--students, faculty, staff!
