California State University LMS Updates

Campus Technology has announced San Jose State's Recommendation to Faculty is Desire2Learn for their new Learning Management System. The article can be found at: http://campustechnology.com/articles/2009/08/19/san-jose-state-recommends-desire2learn-to-faculty.aspx

Meanwhile CSU Northridge will be heavily piloting Moodle in the Fall semester as they have received great help from the CSU Moodle Consortium. This consortium now includes SFSU, Humboldt, Monterey Bay and Cal Maritime working together on several fronts to support one another in their Moodle implementations. Cal Maritime moved to Moodle over the summer. One of consortium's projects includes using QuickGuides as their common online "knowledge-base/tutorials/FAQ" to serve their campus constituencies. Details and project plans are being developed. More information to be shared in the next few months.

There are still other LMS evaluations being done on CSU campuses and hence more results to be revealed within the next 9 months or so.
