Agenda:

  1. Update on process (Bill and Laura met with technical staff re: criteria to be used in the “Pass/Fail” rubric, and determined more questions to ask of some vendors.
  2. Review “Pass/Fail” rubric and apply to vendors on list.
  3. Introduce “Best Fit” rubric, have discussion
  4. Talk about timeline for next week (spring break)
    -  Monday, March 14th, Desire2Learn will come present
    -  Thursday, March 17th, Gardiner Group phone call

 

Actions taken:

  1. Pass/Fail Rubric was applied to list of vendors, and results are viewable in the LMS II course as an Excel spreadsheet.
  2. Committee agreed that we all want to see one difficult Chico course migrated (by us) to Blackboard, Vista, Moodle and Desire2Learn, if possible. Laura will contact vendors for access.
  3. If D2L and Moodle do not FAIL, we need to invite them to campus to present and therefore extend our time. We are doing more research into their criteria.
  4. We would like to invite Pilot group testers to demo side-by-side their courses.

 

What’s Next?

We will not meet on Friday, March 18th nor on March 25th (due to CATS Conference), but we will meet on Monday, March 21st in the morning. Keep an eye on the LMS II course for updates, calendar and discussion postings.
