Selecting a new Learning Management System (LMS)

Do you use KnightVision?
Jan 2010 Update: Only IDIS 110 courses will be in the new Moodle system for spring semester 2010. We hope to have many fall 2010 course moved to Moodle but we won’t have all courses moved until fall 2011. That means during that for several semesters students and faculty may have to look in 2 different locations for your coursework
Students
You may need to access your courses differently when you return to campus in January. Calvin is planning a move from KnightVision (Blackboard) to a new learning management system (LMS). Although the conversion won’t be complete until fall semester 2010, you may see some interim, spring and summer 2010 courses in the new LMS as some faculty will be testing the new system. That means during interim, spring and summer semesters 2010 you may have to look in 2 different locations for your coursework
Faculty
Calvin is planning a move from KnightVision (Blackboard) to an open source learning management system (LMS) by fall semester 2010. In September 2009, a letter was sent to all Calvin teaching faculty explaining that Calvin was planning a move from KnightVision (Blackboard) to an open source learning management system (LMS) by fall semester 2010. The letter was followed-up by a survey asking faculty to rank the importance of a group of questions based on twelve tools or features that are currently available in KnightVision today. Here are the responses.
Do you use the My Resources tab in KnightVision?
During 2010, CIT will be working on moving the information found on the My Resources tab in KnightVision. For now, all the information found on the My Resources tab in KnightVision will continue to be there. We’ll let you know when we are ready to move those resources to another location.
