The Learning Management System (LMS) Advisory Group has developed a comprehensive set of requirements for Carleton’s LMS needs. These requirements were developed through very significant consultations with faculty, contract instructors, teaching assistants, students and staff. Requirements from other institutions completing similar reviews were also consulted.
Once finalized, the requirements will be incorporated into a Request for Proposal (RFP). This is a document used to solicit responses from vendors and service providers. While the RFP is an important document in our selection process, it will be used primarily to help identify platforms that meet our requirements. Once we identify the most suitable platform(s) based on the responses to the RFP, we will invite these platform(s) to demonstrate the products to the Carleton community and provide opportunities for users to test their product and services. This will allow the community to compare a select group of LMS platforms that meet our requirements to the platform that powers cuLearn (Moodle).
The responses to the RFP help inform our process and recommendations. It does NOT mean that we are changing platforms or that we are selecting a product based on a provider’s responses.
Review draft requirements
Members of the Carleton community were given the opportunity to review the draft LMS requirements here and provide feedback until July 2019.
Note: The draft requirements developed for the review of Carleton’s Learning Management System (LMS) are intended solely for the use of the Carleton community. They were shared with the Carleton community for the purposes of providing users an opportunity to review and comment. These draft requirement should not be shared with any external party to Carleton University.
