“WebCT has been a reliable product but as our needs expand and instructional technology develops, a new LMS that better fits the needs and identity of the UD Community must be sought out.”
THE CROSSROADS
![Page 7: Slow and Steady Wins the Race: Moving from Commercial to Open Source Ryan Allen, Senior E-Learning Specialist University of Dayton.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551b17e2550346cf5a8b53a3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Analyzing Our Options
![Page 8: Slow and Steady Wins the Race: Moving from Commercial to Open Source Ryan Allen, Senior E-Learning Specialist University of Dayton.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551b17e2550346cf5a8b53a3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
WebCT Satisfaction Survey Results
Despite the overall positive results and the fact that over 90% of the responders said they would recommend WebCT to a colleague…
…a large majority of faculty noted that:
1. WebCT was not user-friendly2. Among others, the Mail and Gradebook tools were
consistently mentioned as weak points3. Many tools such as the Quiz and Assignment tools had steep
learning curves4. The product was becoming outdated and didn’t embrace
newer technologies 5. More support and training materials were necessary
![Page 9: Slow and Steady Wins the Race: Moving from Commercial to Open Source Ryan Allen, Senior E-Learning Specialist University of Dayton.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551b17e2550346cf5a8b53a3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Hunt• LMS Evaluation Process: 2006-

Work in Progress

Tips for Success
• Deal with Comparisons Head On• Remind users ‘Why’• ‘Hold Hands’• Dealing with the ‘Squeaking
Wheels’– Believe the symptom, not the
explanation– Be ‘Unapologetically Helpful’
• Get everyone ‘in on the act’
