LMS Selection and Implementation

A learning management system (LMS) allows teachers to share files with students, develop and disseminate short-term assessments, collect student work, send announcements to students and parents, and more.

When selecting an LMS vendor, consider how existing relationships with other districts could provide additional implementation support. For implementation, begin with teacher pilot groups. Contacts at District B note that an LMS pilot program allowed technical staff to identify and resolve technical problems, which mitigated potential disruptions during full implementation. This report explores how districts research, select, and implement learning management systems.
