NC3ADL 2017 Conference

An LMS is an enterprise level tool used to meet online education initiatives. When discussing, implementing, or using an LMS, conversations turn to key features of what the LMS can and cannot do. In determining LMS feature needs, understanding the long term goals and outcomes in using the LMS is key to ensure a proper set of features to be included. This presentation will cover must-have LMS features to help your understanding of these features and how they can help meet your college's needs.

Many LMS admins struggle to efficiently synchronize user data among such systems, leading to productivity issues including delayed course availability and student enrollments.

Whether in traditional, blended, or online courses, Educational Technology promises innovative ways to teach and learn.

Join us for a conversation about how to navigate this mine field and streamline the process of shopping for, adopting, and rolling out innovative Ed Tech.
