RE: About sticking with what you know, especially when there seems to be little technical help.
In this scenario, Benoît seems to be asked to make this decision alone. So, if there is no technical support to make this important decision… how much will there be when he tries to create the course on Moodle?
That being said, sometimes you just have to take a risk and plunge into it! With the help of the Arts department, he might be able to choose a more appropriate LMS for his students… in the end, they are one of the most important factors in the equation.
As Pekins and Pfaffman (2006) state in their article: “CMSs enable teachers to easily post assignments, lesson plans, announcements, and course documents (…). They also allow students ot participate in online discussion sand chats and turn in assignments online.”
Food for thought…
