Traversing the LMS terrain
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Traversing the LMS terrain (ID: CSD5336)
Author(s):Kelly Wainwright (Lewis & Clark College), Michael Osterman (Whitman College), Christina M. Finneran (Bowdoin College), and Bill Hill (Seattle University)
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (10/15/2007)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:

With the emergence of strong open source contenders in the Learning Management System (LMS) arena, many schools are evaluating whether to stay with one of the commercial LMS products such as Blackboard/WebCT or moving to one of the open source solutions which are free to use, but offer no corporate support. There are many factors contributing to such a decision beyond price including migration from a current LMS, technical and faculty support and buy in. In the end, it is a decision that an institution needs to be well informed to make.

Electronic Courseware in Higher Education
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Electronic Courseware in Higher Education (ID: CSD4201)
Author(s):Maureen C. Minielli (Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis) and S. Pixy Ferris (William Paterson University of New Jersey)
Source:First Monday
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2005)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:The rising costs of education often lead to the call for a change from the traditional, space–and–time bound institutions to ones that offer increasingly cost–effective, technologically enhanced programs. As institutions of higher education turn to technology, primarily Internet–based, to address these challenges, the use of electronic courseware is dramatically increasing. In order to effectively utilize electronic courseware in the classroom, educators not only need to be aware of terminology, functions, and uses of the most popular types of electronic courseware, but also (and perhaps more importantly) educators need to develop and critique pedagogically based research that can, at the broader level, help educators at various levels of technological expertise learn and adapt their teaching styles to maximize student learning.

In this paper we consider electronic course management systems from a pedagogical perspective, with the goal of aiding educators to effectively utilize electronic courseware in the classroom. By discussing the basics (such as terminology, functions, and uses of the most popular types of electronic courseware) and examining pedagogically based research we hope, at the broader level, to help educators at various levels of technological expertise learn and adapt their teaching styles to maximize student learning.
