Getting Started
Welcome
Welcome to my workshop on the evaluation of learning management systems. This site is oriented towards educators and has been developed as part of the instructional design in digital learning course at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. Following please find some guidelines to help you navigate this workshop.
Workshop Overview
Do you wonder how you can choose the right learning management system (LMS) for your organization? By completing this workshop you will be able to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of 2 common learning management systems which are used in higher education, Desire-2-Learn (D2L), and Canvas by Instructure, and select the appropriate one for your institution.
Workshop Schedule
This workshop is divided into 6 weeks, and each week we will compare the 2 LMS, D2L and Canvas, followed by a weekly recommendation based on this comparison. During week 7, we will use this information to make a final recommendation of which LMS best meets the needs of our organization.
