The LMS review team is currently working with faculty pilot volunteers to create their spring term courses in either Canvas or Sakai. Faculty will pilot these platforms throughout the term and provide feedback to the LMS team via surveys and focus groups.

Students enrolled in the pilot courses will also be asked to provide feedback about their experiences using the systems.

If you’d like to learn more about the spring term pilot participants, check out the list of faculty volunteers and the courses they will teach.

We’ll also be conducting usability studies with UO instructors new to both pilot platforms. If you’re a UO instructor and interested in providing feedback on the two systems, please contact Kirstin Hierholzer at kirstinh@uoregon.edu These usability sessions will be scheduled early to mid-April.

Based on the feedback from UO faculty and technical staff, the LMS Review Task Force has identified two platforms to test during courses spring term, 2014: Canvas and Sakai.

Please note: All platforms, including Blackboard, ObaVerse, Desire to Learn, Canvas and Sakai are still under consideration until a final decision is made.
