Mary Kraus, Vice Provost and Associate Vice Chancellor for Undergraduate Education
Last month, we shared with you that the university is at the beginning of a faculty- and student-driven initiative to evaluate D2L and other learning management systems (LMS). Our goal is to determine whether D2L is the best tool to meet CU Boulder’s teaching, learning and administrative needs or if an alternate LMS would better serve our students and faculty.Ìý
At this phase of the initiative, the committee’s primary goal is to ensure decisions regarding the future of the campus LMS are informed by the students and the faculty, as they will be most directly impacted by the decision. We will be soliciting feedback via several mechanisms, the first of which is an upcoming survey that will be sent to all faculty and graduate teaching assistants next week. The survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete and will provide the committee with critical information to help us understand what faculty value and areas for improvement in the primary LMS they use. We also want to hear from those that have stopped using an LMS and those who do not use an LMS at all. In order to ensure your voice is heard, I encourage you to complete the survey.
Information such as timelines, initiative updates and committee work, which includes active faculty involvement, can be found on the . If you have questions or feedback you can .
