Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/09/2006)

Abstract:This seminar is for university administrators who want to carry out a strategic planning program or reorganization of the way the course management system (CMS) is deployed on their campuses. The goals of this strategic planning process might be to select and transition to a new CMS vendor, to strategically assess campus CMS needs, or to better link the CMS to other university enterprise systems. The seminar will cover the methods and processes used in strategic planning and how to apply these to planning for CMSs. Participants will leave the seminar with a draft outline for conducting a strategic planning program around CMSs at their institution.
