Â鶹ӰÊÓ

In our second blog post of Fall 2022, we are working to keep you informed about evaluating possible alternatives to Sakai.  In late August, we sent out a survey targeted at employees who teach Â鶹ӰÊÓ courses using Sakai. The purpose of this survey was to get honest and focused feedback from those who serve as instructors. Because moving to a new learning management system can bring up all different types of reactions, we wanted to make sure instructors had an opportunity to voice their concerns, ask questions, and provide input to help the College make the best possible decision. 

In the survey we asked questions about the following areas: 

• Instructors’ teaching status and formats of courses 
• Experience with various learning management systems 
• Experience with using Sakai to teach courses 
• Feelings about moving to a new learning management system 

In the interest of transparency, the results of the survey are presented in the video below (14 minutes).  We hope you’ll take time to check out the results, which are being used by the Learning Management System Task Force to inform the criteria and themes for evaluating learning management systems. 

We appreciate all the instructors who provided feedback for us and look forward to helping make this transition as smooth as possible. 

Upcoming posts will address these topics: 

• Top faculty concern: What will happen to my content on Sakai? 
• Updates from the LMS Evaluation Task Force 
• And more…
