Course Management System (CMS) Update (Moodle)

August 1, 2011

Posted 9:37 AM | Permalink

As a reminder, the CMS Implementation Project includes two major components:

A major Moodle upgrade, from version 1.9 to 2.0

Transitioning away from offering two Course Management Systems, Moodle and WebVista, to offering a sole CMS, Moodle

We intend to make Moodle 2.0 available beginning August 15, which will allow a full year for users to transition away from WebVista and/or upgrade their Moodle 1.9 courses. Moodle 2.0 will be the sole CMS as of September 1, 2012. To see a graphic depiction of the CMS Implementation Timeline, visit the Moodle website.

OIT Help and Support efforts for the CMS Implementation include a full range of services from collegiate and departmental planning services, to individual consultation, to technology training, and technical support.

For more detailed updates, you are welcome to attend the CMS Implementation Group quarterly meeting next Thursday, August 4, from 10:00-11:30 a.m. in room 101 Walter Library. (No RSVP required) or visit the Moodle website.
