Abstract

With the implementation of a new Learning Management System (LMS), we designed an effective learner-centered training and support program with great breadth and depth that met the needs of both new users to the LMS as well as those in transition from the old system. This session will present our unique multi-faceted training and support program. Learner-centered approaches are often criticized for their difficulty in scalability across a large institution. However, our program has been highly effective in addressing diverse needs of large numbers of instructors in a short period of time. Successful practices and lessons learned will be presented for universities that are making the move from one LMS to another.
