3.2.3. LMS - Statewide Support
Agenda Item Type:
Information Item
Discussion:
A great deal of conversation occured regarding the LMS. Obviously, we currently use BlackBoard. Schools are starting to use other learning management systems such as Scoology, Canvas, etc. Wayne Bell shared that at it's higest usage, there were about 45,000 BlackBoard users. Scott Isaacson shared that there are approximately 33,000 users at this time.
Bob Uhing state that BlackBoard may be willing to give the product to K-12 schools. This has to do with BlackBoard's current relationship with post-secondary institutions. It may also have to do with "free" services such as Moodle.
Ron Cone added that some schools are not willing to even use a product if it is free. At the time, some schools are paying for Schoology, and it appears that some services such as Schoology have interoperability with student management systems such as Power School.
The committee decided due to a variety of factors to stay the current course and develop a process in the near future for change, if any.
