Save the dates: Vendor / Solution Provider Demonstrations coming this spring

Save the dates! Public demonstrations are being scheduled for May – June 2013. Most presentations will be Wednesdays 3:00 – 4:30 pm or Fridays 9:30-11:00 am.

Some vendors have already responded to the Request for Information (RFI) posted last week. Vendors will have 90 minutes to demonstrate their product and answer question from the task force and audience. UO faculty, staff and students will be invited to comment on solutions presented following the demonstrations.

As these solution providers schedule their public presentations (product demonstration + question/answer period), they will be posted to this calendar. Check back often.

 

 

LMS Request for Information Posted

The University of Oregon is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) for the purpose of gathering information about enterprise-wide learning management systems (LMS).

The task force is interested in considering all options including open-source or proprietary software, and hosted or non-hosted systems. University is issuing this RFI to expand campus knowledge and understanding of the marketplace in preparation for a possible procurement.

The RFI is available on the Oregon University System Web site:

Review Timeline Available

The LMS Task Force is committed to making the best choice for UO faculty and students possible, including planning for sufficient time for a system migration should that become necessary. With that in mind, we have developed a very aggressive timeline for the review and selection process. This timeline is a working document and time frames are subject to change.
