Assignment 1 was an interesting project. As someone who has had the opportunity to choose an LMS for their school before, it made me reflect on the many facets of that decision. I felt that the readings of Bates (2014), Spiro (2014), and Porto (2015), really helped contribute to the full scope of the decisions that went into making the rubrick. Since my background is primarily from the tech support/administrator side of things, the readings enlightened me in aspects of the curriculum design and teacher usability. Overall I think our rubric came out really well. Everyone in the group provided a lot of positive contributions and we worked well together. I can definitely see this rubric giving people a firm guideline of the questions and expectations to have during the difficult decision of choosing an LMS.
