Drivers for CHANGE? Broken Promises with Feature/Functionality Availability Previous LMS only delivered basic needs Inability to meet demand for extended functionality Difficulties Integrating with ERP and third-party providers Datatel ERP was “bread and butter” Desire to seamlessly connect third-party apps with LMS Budgetary Crisis’ Average 5-15% annual increase to support previous LMS Campus wide cuts, mounting concerns over annual cost of all education technology

Evaluating CHANGE: LMS Alternatives Open-Source Benefits: Moodle goes Mainstream Viability never in question- Trusted by other institutions Able to “test drive” Enterprise potential w/ supported partner network Sustainability, consistent updates and upgrades Superior feature to price ratio The Perfect Storm: Datatel ILP and Moodlerooms Datatel’s proactive outreach Turn-key solution simplicity Integration capabilities with mission-critical applications Moodlerooms’ Enterprise Moodle Platform, joule®

Considering the Cloud Benefits, Advantages No longer tied to on-campus resources (hardware obsolete) Enterprise Delivery and Scalability High service levels during peak periods of use 24/7 access, tech support and maintenance “Pick-up and go” capability Solid provider with proven service record Moodlerooms and Dell Dedication to LMS hosting success Future Possibilities Attesting for program use and expansion Scaling other campus applications

Incentivizing CHANGE and Campus-Wide Adoption The “Top-Down” Approach Private institution affords flexibility in approach Gain the support of leadership before introducing to faculty and students Gradual Transition Plan Year-long roll-out of migration and use of Moodle Customize Training Plan: Prescribe based on faculty Treat faculty as “elite users” and “early adopters” On-premise, face-to-face “Train-the-Trainer” program Create self-paced courses using Moodlerooms documentation from face-to-face training

Moving Forward Establishing the next steps in Implementation Expanding use from eight courses (Fall ‘10) to upwards of 40 (Spring ‘11) Full-use by Summer 2011 Further incentivizing faculty for expanding use How to educate faculty and students on expanded features? Leveraging the Cloud Hosting ERP in the Cloud Expanding use within existing programs
