Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Course Management Systems: A Change on the Horizon? (ID: SER08052)
Author(s):Sharon Collins (East Carolina University), Biwu Yang (East Carolina University), Ginny Sconiers (East Carolina University), and Matthew Long (East Carolina University)
Origin:Presented at Southeast Regional Conferences (06/02/2008)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:

Course management systems provide many features that enhance teaching and learning. Choosing one from among the many systems available is a major decision and commitment for any institution. The best way to evaluate a CMS is a semester-long test to ensure that both instructors and students gain a deep understanding of its features and limitations. Currently we are conducting a CMS project in which three platforms are running simultaneously: Blackboard, Moodle, and Sakai. The project will evaluate the usability/management for each. This presentation will discuss the challenges and lessons learned during our project.

Wikis and DRM @ Tools of Change

Created by Matt Pasiewicz (EDUCAUSE) on June 19, 2007

The morning keynotes hinted at the [d]evolving state of DRM. Hopefully Bill McCoy will touch on his interest in Social DRM at his session tomorrow. Michael Jensen, Peter Brantley, and Ale de Vries hosted an interesting session on DRM too. In my estimation, they mostly talked around the idea of DRM and the problems one can encounter when approaching the topic. I got a late question in regarding the music publishing model and the potential for using performance rights organizations to introduce an new form of renumeration for the book trade. I approached the same topic with Brewster Kahle in our interview from 2005.
