- Abstract
- This paper analyzes the University of North Carolina School of Medicine's search for a Learning Management System (LMS) as part of a larger project to upgrade its student processing application suite in 2008 and 2009. It describes the needs assessment process that the School undertook to gather requirements, the Request For Proposals and other documents that resulted, and the process by which an LMS was chosen. Two LMSs were finally considered to fill this role: Blackboard, a leading proprietary system, and Sakai, an open source alternative. This paper also describes the complex factors that necessitated this needs assessment and shaped its development, the role of open source software on campus, and the larger implications of the decision for UNC Chapel Hill.
