LunchByte: Our Next Learning Management System (KV Replacement)
Monday, November 16, 2009
As many of you have heard, Calvin is planning a move from KnightVision (Blackboard) to a new learning management system (LMS) by fall semester 2010. CIT has been working with the Information Services Committee to prepare for the move. To find out more about this transition we invite you to attend Tuesday’s LunchByte. The following questions will be addressed:
- Where have we been?
- Where are we now?
- What are we considering?
- Where are we going?
- What are the results of the survey we filled out a couple weeks ago?
