Lessons learnt from a university LMS transformation

The good, the bad and the ugly

Abstract

In a changing Higher Education landscape, universities are increasingly under pressure to implement transformative learning experiences, leveraging advances in technology and increasing flexibility in the curriculum. This paper discusses the process by which our University transitioned from one Learning Management System to another, and the impact of this transformation. This impact is viewed across the College of Science, Engineering & Health learning and teaching strategies and the student experience, our planning and staff capability development. The complexities and lessons learnt from this process are identified in an attempt to reflect on the LMS transformation as a broader catalyst for change.
