Subject: Evaluating Course Management Systems - Online Workshop
From: John R. Bourne, Director, The Sloan Center for OnLine Education
(SCOLE) at Olin and Babson Colleges
Registration is now open for the Evaluating Course Management Systems
Online Workshop which starts on Monday June 4, 2001 and runs through Friday
June 29, 2001.
This workshop provides an opportunity to try out and compare several course
management tools (Blackboard, Prometheus, and WebCT).
After you've had the opportunity to try out the software, both through
specific tasks and also trying out other aspects, there is a
trade-off analysis which will help you see how each vendor compares based
on the items you feel are most important. You will also be able to compare
your results with those of the other participants. If your faculty and
staff are investigating this topic for your campus, you may be interested
in having several people from your institution attend this upcoming online
workshop. If you are interested in having your staff take this workshop,
you may register at:
http://www.scole.olin-babson.org/cms-registration
If you would like more information about this workshop you may send email
to marjorie.quinlan@olin.edu.
