So, where are you? What IS your motivation?

You could be a designer charged with learning the new LMS system and creating “trainings” and helping instructors create courses – and designing templates, too…

You could be an interested instructor – seeking to get ahead of the game and hone your e-Learning or online teaching skills…

You could be an instructor faced with changing LMSs – perhaps your institution ditched WebCT or Blackboard for the lower cost Moodle alternative? You’re faced with learning a new system and hoping that your course migrates to the new one and that you can get it up and running with minimal expenditure of your already sparse time and effort…

You could be faced with the decision to choose an LMS system: you’re an administrator, a faculty member, an IT person, a designer. You’re a chosen one, checking things out and evaluating what’s available and how it will “fit” with your institution…

You may have stumbled upon eLearning and discovered LMSs with the goal of “saving time”, “reducing on-campus time”, “teaching remotely”, and “ditching the physical classroom”- if for no reason other than convenience and reducing or avoiding a commute…

Whomever you are, whatever description, whether it’s one of these or any number of others, fit you…you’ve come to the right place.
