Evaluation Process

The following are archived videos from the ELMS Pilot Evaluation Webinar Series. In those webinars, ELMS pilot faculty members talk about their experiences with each of the five ELMS pilot systems: Blackboard 9.1, Desire2Learn, Canvas, Moodle, and Sakai. The ELMS pilot evaluation faculty members give an overview of each system, highlight unique features, and talk about what works and what doesn't. Most of the webinars are available to watch either in Wimba Live Classroom or on YouTube.

Introduction
