BCCampus is a publicly-funded agency that offers teaching, learning and educational technology support to the 25 post-secondary institutions in British Columbia and 1 in the Yukon. \u00a0As part of its shared services, BCcampus has been running two LMS platforms; one open-sourced (Moodle) and the other vendor based (D2L) whose contract will expire shortly. \u00a0With current restructuring, BCCampus will be losing half of its tech support team in 3 months, and therefore the possibility of running 2 separate LMS platforms is no longer an option. \u00a0BCCampus will need to decide which LMS they wish to proceed with across the board. \u00a0However, as BCCampus is known for its leadership in innovation, they are open to the idea of selecting an entirely new platform. As employees at BCCampus, we have been asked to create an evaluation rubric to help in the decision making process. \u00a0We have designed the rubric to help select an LMS that will fit with the needs, the vision and mandate of BCCampus: to connect, collaborate and innovate. \u00a0The selection process must also recognize the LMS\u2019 ability to conform and to adapt to the geographically and culturally diverse needs of BCcampus\u2019 partner institutions. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rationale<\/span><\/p>\n

Our team has based its rubric on elements of Bates work as well as Chickering and Ehrmann\u2019s seven principles of good practice. We believe the structure and specifics of Bates \u2018SECTIONS\u2019 together with practical guidance of the principles, provided the foundation needed for a well grounded evaluative tool. As Coates points out however, \u201cDecisions about university teaching and learning should not be restricted to checklist evaluations of technical and organizational factors\u201d (2005). With that in mind we also focused the language of our rubric with forward thinking. What is crucial to keeping BCcampus relevant to the geographically and culturally diverse population it serves, and innovatively necessary to its partner institutions? What will help the institution continue its mandate to connect and collaborate by not only keeping pace with learning communities, but expanding with leading-edge vision? We understand this will not be the only tool an evaluation team uses, but believe that the six areas covered will provide a well-rounded summary to the committee.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rationale<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our LMS evaluation rubric is based on elements of the Bates SECTIONS model as well as Chickering and Ehrmann\u2019s seven principles of good practice. As Coates points out, \u201cdecisions about university teaching and learning should not be restricted to checklist evaluations of technical and organizational factors\u201d (2005). With that in mind, we did not limit our rubric to standard evaluation criteria, rather we designed the rubric around the specific needs of BCcampus; developing six high-level criteria encompassing the primary concerns of the agency: Access, Support, Functionality, Cost, Customization, and Organizational Requirements. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With 25 affiliates, the importance of versatility without restrictions is paramount. A system that can be accessed by every institution, device and end user, without compromise to functionality, will keep BCcampus at the forefront of innovation. Further, the BCcampus IT support will be reduced in three months making system compatibility an important requirement.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Secondly, it is important that the selected LMS provides support to all users. IT support must be available for BCcampus, the institutions, and the individual users, as these stakeholders might require different assistance at various times. If teachers and learners are not well supported then there is a high risk that the LMS may not be used at all (Bates, 2014).<\/span><\/p>\n

The functionality of the LMS is an integral criteria for BCcampus to maintain their leadership in innovation by empowering the current and future learners through intuitive user interfaces. \u00a0Furthermore, the functionality should not compromise the security and privacy of its users in order for open discussions to occur without consequences (Bates, 2014).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BCcampus uses an innovative collaborative model that allows various post-secondary institutions to share resources and costs (BCcampus, 2013). Participating institutions can access the resources and technologies they would not be able to individually. BCcampus must have information about the initial implementation, and future LMS maintenance costs in order to budget effectively. This in turn, will affect the participating institutions and their budgeting. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As Spiro mentioned, students are increasingly taking charge of their own learning; gone are the days of one-size-fits-all courses (2014). This mentality calls for a LMS platform that is customizable – allowing students and teachers alike, the opportunity to curate their own learning path. Further, BCcampus is looking for a long term LMS, meaning it has to be adaptable and able to integrate with new technologies in order to meet the needs of its diverse student population.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lastly, BCcampus provides a leading-edge collaborative interface. \u00a0As such, the LMS it uses must have strong cognitive design in its structural components, align with the mandates of its partners, and provide exceptional modalities for communication. We understand this will not be the only tool an evaluation team uses, but believe that the six areas covered will provide a well-rounded summary to the committee. <\/span><\/p>\n
