Extended Abstract: 

This session will share how a multi-campus community colelge used a faculty-first process for successful LMS RFP, LMS Evaluation, LMS Selection, and new LMS Training. This college district had a faculty lead the way on every step of the LMS change process, from creating a list of functional components, to reviewing the RFP and its responses, through selection and training thousands of faculty. This session will include time for attendees to ask questions and share their own advice about the LMS evaluation, adoption, and training processes. Attendees will have access to most of the documents created and used during the entire process.

This session is ideal for those interested in cultivating faculty leadership, involving faculty in governance, reviewing or changing their LMS, or scaling up a faculty training initiative.

Attendees will have access to our documents (except those bound by NDAs / contracts), process, and lessons learned. This will help leaders, faculty, and staff involved with technology be better prepared for evaluating, training, or changing their LMS.
