Brock University wants to hear from its faculty, staff and students about expectations for a new learning management system (LMS).<\/p>\n
The University is conducting an evaluation of its current LMS, known as Sakai, and is looking for feedback from the Brock community through the Mission LMS Sandbox experience.<\/p>\n
In addition to supporting the delivery of online courses, Brock\u2019s LMS allows instructors to communicate with students and provide essential course content, such as links to readings, the course syllabus, course announcements and assignment submissions.<\/p>\n
The Mission LMS Sandbox experience is an opportunity to explore the leading learning management systems on the market.\u00a0All feedback will help\u00a0Brock\u2019s LMS Review Resource Selection Committee develop criteria for a future LMS for the University.\u00a0Feedback\u00a0submissions\u00a0will also enter\u00a0participants in\u00a0a draw\u00a0for prizes.<\/p>\n
The systems being explored include:<\/p>\n
Participants are randomly assigned a LMS Sandbox mission when they\u00a0access the site<\/a>. Each Sandbox feedback submission will enter the respondent in a\u00a0draw for prizes.\u00a0Students will have a chance to win\u00a0one $1,000 tuition waiver,\u00a0four $500 tuition waivers\u00a0or 10 $100\u00a0tuition\u00a0waivers.\u00a0Faculty and staff\u00a0can win hats, hoodies and water bottles.<\/p>\n
