Dear Colleagues,
The UO Libraries needs your help in reviewing options for a learning management system. The UO has been a Blackboard site since 1999, and our current contract expires in March 2015. There are several alternatives on the market, both commercial and open source, that should be reviewed to determine how well they align with campus instructional needs.
A request for information (RFI) has gone out to vendors, inviting them to demonstrate their products at public presentations on campus.
Five vendors have been scheduled. Faculty are encouraged to attend and provide feedback to the selection committee.
