Hello everyone,
We'd like to hear specifics from both teachers and professional developers. While we do not suggest to promote one LMS over another with this question, your experiences with various learning management systems are important. In your experience either as a teacher participating in online PD, or as a professional eveloper/instructional designer/technical administrator, what features in a learning management system do you like/not like?

(here's a way to compare some different features)

If there was one you liked, which LMS was it in, and what about it appealed to you? Were there related factors (like facilitation, content) in tandem with this feature that seemed to enhance the learning experience?

If there was one you did not like, which LMS was it in, and what about it did you find unappealing and/or problematic? Were there additional factors (like facilitation, content) in tandem with this feature that did not seem to work well?

Thanks!

Jackie

In Kentucky, we use the Angel learning management system for our online PD courses. We are lucky, like World Education in PA, we too have a technical support system through the KY Virtual University (KYVU). Our adult educators have access to a help desk anytime they have a problem. Angel is a wonderful tool, but many of our educators find it a little overwhelming at first. But we are making progress as we offer more and more opportunities online. Sandy kestner
