=Topic 1: January 17 - 28, 2010 = =Course Management Systems = A Course Management System (CMS) (also known as a Learning Management System - LMS) is //a virtual learning environment designed to support teaching and learning in an educational setting//. Many different CMS exist, and the world of CMS is changing everyday. It is safe to say that every college now uses a CMS, and many require their teachers to have a CMS page for each course. [|Emma Willard Class Pages through Moodle] is the CMS we use at Emma Willard. Other CMS options out there include Haiku, Schoology, Edmodo, and Blackboard. Emma Willard is currently going through the process of evaluating our CMS and considering other options.

Take 5 minutes each day learn about one or more of these CMS. You could learn about four different CMS, or just focus on one in depth. If you discover a different CMS than those listed, share the link below. I've included a site link, as well as a link to a video about each of the CMS below. ====Contribute one thing to the Wiki's content each week, a one sentence comment, a link, an image, a discussion post, etc. Click Here if you can't remember how to make changes to the page.====
