On behalf of the Learning Management System (LMS) Steering Committee, we would like to thank you all for your engagement and participation through surveys, consultations and demonstrations as we work towards updating our Learning Management System (LMS).

Your input and feedback has helped us better understand your expectations as faculty and facilitators, and is being used to inform the request for proposals (RFP) to the vendor community. This submission is on track for the end of June, and we will be sharing the findings of the surveys and consultations with the College community at the end of the summer.

In the Fall, we will reach out to you once again to review the shortlist of vendors and provide you an opportunity to “Play in the LMS Sandbox.” These sessions will include vendor demonstrations, allow you to test the various systems, ask questions of the vendors, and get hands-on experience with what these systems have to offer. Details about these demonstrations will be shared throughout the Fall.  

Your valuable feedback on this shortlist of systems will again be the foundation for the recommendation that will be made to the College’s Executive Committee in late November, 2017.

The Steering Committee will be working over the summer to ensure the project stays on track and will be ready to hit the ground running in September. We encourage you to continue checking our website, www.algonquincollege.com/lms, for updates.

As the co-chairs of the Learning Management System Steering Committee, we would like to thank you again for your engagement on this project.

Have a great summer break!

Sincerely,

Margaret Cusson, Dean of Academic Development
Patrick Devey, Dean of the Centre for Continuing and Online Learning
