LMS Focus Group Report
Instructional Technology Resource Center
Idaho State University, May 11, 2006
Summary:
The learning management systems (LMS) Focus Group Report evaluates feedback by Idaho State University (ISU) faculty members, students, support staff, and assessment officer review of WebCT 6.0, Sakai 2.0, and Moodle 1.5 LMS software packages. The ISU campus community currently utilizes WebCT 4.0, which will no longer be supported after July of 2007, to deliver course materials and activities via the Internet. A typical upgrade path would be to upgrade to WebCT 6.0, but that process has been identified as a larger shift in support and resources than previously required for WebCT version upgrades. The goal of this study is to determine if better LMS alternatives exist that can demonstrate increased pedagogical value, support financial concerns, address support issues, meet appropriate assessment criteria for accreditation, integrate with the information technology services on campus, and offer dependable long-term solutions.

After skimming the above, it is well worth looking over the Idaho State Moodle resources page:
