Change is painful some will say, not to mention when we are going to change a platform for the school’s LMS/CMS, yes, the word ‘compatibility’ is seen flashing in our mind, and that translates into many hours of sweat and blood of teachers.
The EQ article “Changing Course Management Systems: Lessons Learned” describes one such experience by the North Dakota University. Findings from the chart confirmed that compatibility is indeed an issue, with items ‘not intact’ or converted _partially_.
Interestingly, at the end of the day, though faced with the problems and the fear, a majority of the faculuties are willing to make the transition. Perhaps it’s the educator in us that led us to move on when we believe that changes will improve our quality of teaching to students. Not quite sure if it’s the case here though. Nvm.
