Idaho State University Adopts New Learning Management System to Replace WebCT
Based on a year-long analysis of ISU’s needs and an evaluation of several Learning Management Systems (LMS), ISU has decided to adopt a new system to replace WebCT, our current LMS. The new system, called Moodle, is currently in operation in the Instructional Technology Resource Center. In addition to supporting the use of “traditional” online content and activities in an intuitive, effective fashion, Moodle also offers a wide array of features to support innovative pedagogical techniques. In particular, Moodle excels at providing student-centered, active learning activities.
If you would like to read the full evaluation and recommendation report, it may be downloaded from http://www.isu.edu/itrc/resources/LMS_FINAL_REPORT_MOODLE.pdf
