Learning Management System (LMS) Review Requirements Workshops, will be held in March 2019. The purpose of these workshops is to assess the 5 Learning Management Systems under review: Brightspace, Canvas, Learn Ultra, Open LMS and our existing FLO.  Contact dststeam@flinders.edu.au and register your interest.

To perform this assessment, we have identified a number of Business Requirements and categorised them into Themes, they are:

• Accessible, engaging and user-friendly interface
• Alignment with University structure and governance
• Communication, feedback provision and internal collaboration
• Content creation, sharing and re-use
• Digital credentialing, short courses and non-award courses
• Learning analytics and reporting
• Multiple assessment options
• Open, extensible and device agnostic
• Strategic and teaching objectives
• Work integrated learning and external collaboration

Workshops will focus on the specific LMS functionalities which fall within that thematic area.

Required prework

Please be aware, pre-work includes accessing the candidate systems, navigate through them and test the functionalities, assessing whether they respond to the Business Requirements or not and recording a score from 1 to 5 for each requirement, and provide some qualitative comments if required.  The list of business requirements and the template to assign scores will be available at least 2 weeks before the workshop sessions start.

On the day of the workshop

We will have a discussion on each system and requirements, based on pre-work, and we will agree on a final score per requirement per system (majority rules).

Qualitative comments will be recorded as well, and – together with the agreed scores – will be taken in consideration when forming the final recommendation.
