Fine Print Presenters' comments reflect their experiences with each platform and this presentation is not designed to promote one platform over another. East Carolina University

Purpose of the CMS Study Review the features of CMS platforms o Blackboard Version at the beginning of the study was 6.3 When? o Before major upgrades, the last time was 2004 Why? o Two recommendations under the PACE study Choices? o Bb and two front runner open source platforms East Carolina University

The Process Faculty o Seek faculty to participate o Ask them to teach one platform for a semester long course o Give them training Technical o Setup servers, we support all three in our campus Wrap up o Conduct survey at the end of semester and at the end of the project East Carolina University

Survey Sample East Carolina University

Timeline Summer 2008 A Recommendation Will be Made Spring nd Sakai Faculty Group Blackboard 7.3 Deployed Final Comparison Survey at end of Spring 08 Fall st Sakai Faculty Group 2 nd Moodle Faculty Group Blackboard 7.1 Pilot Group Summer st Moodle Faculty Group Spring 2007 Set Up Moodle & Sakai Server Timeline East Carolina University

Comments from Faculty It's funny because I really kind of liked Moodle equally as well as Blackboard, but find Bb much more intuitive and easy to use. I think it's because I haven't had enough time to play around with and really get to know Moodle. With that time, I might have ranked them differently. While quantitative values are used, I found little difference between Moodle and Blackboard after one semester of teaching. I had a little trouble with assessment tools in Moodle and Sakai so I didn't pursue their use. I found Moodle very hard to use. Many students have commented that they prefer moodle's layout because they can see the topic contents without the need to enter a specific folder. Moodle is by far the most user-friendly and intuitive! I HATE the gradebook in Sakai. It is not easy to use or intuitive. I felt as if there were several steps needed to accomplish one thing. The gradebook for Moodle and Sakai was not used- external software gradebooks were used with ICTN3530 and ICTN3540. I have never used groups in any CMS. East Carolina University

More Comments I could never get the gradebook to weight the different types of assignments in either sakai or moodle, so used the blackboard grade book and reentered the data. I explored the create/manage groups in Moodle and Sakai, but did not actually use them! Moodle was by far the most flexible with regard to Content Organization and tools. I found Moodle clunky when uploading content, but I probably don't know the shortcut. This deficiency is not enough to prevent me from using Moodle in the future. I did not have any experience with RSS feeds, and I'm not sure about the HTML editor. The communication features were the best part of Moodle and allowed me to highly individualize the course. I loved that! Students were less likely to use Sakai's communications features. Students used Moodle's and forum features extensively. There needs to be a N/A category on here. Moodle's is problematic when there are a large number of students. The screen hangs until the s have been sent- recommend the module is backgrounded so the process is not visible to the instructor. East Carolina University

More Comments I only learned about the use of Blogs and Wikis; I did not use them. I really liked the discussion forum grader in Moodle and found it easier to use than even the updated Bb7. All of my experience with Assessment has been with Blackboard only. However, I ranked Moodle / Sakai based on other features within the CMS. I did not do alot of fancy testing, it was difficult enough to just get the basic test set up the way that you wanted. The test set up in moodle was difficult to navigate, but the feedback options to the students after the test was better. Sakai seemed to give us difficulty when students actually did the testing. Assessment wasn't used in Moodle or Sakai, but Blackboard's assessment feature is very powerful. Haven't really used a survey function! Thanks for doing this, and for all your help throughout the semesters! East Carolina University

Conclusion Blackboard Contract is Up for Renewal o Blackboard will be continued Academic Outreach will continue running multiple platforms o Courses run in Moodle for Summer 08 o Several projects will use Sakai East Carolina University
