What should a Learning Management System be able to do?

On October 25 at 3PM in the CoRE, LIRTC will hold an open forum as part of a process to investigate the state of Learning Management Systems and explore the potential for Wooster to switch away from Moodle. In preparation for this event we thought it would be good to generate a list of some features that faculty, students, and IT expect an LMS to have.

An LMS needs to:

  1.  Integrate with our student record system
  2. Allow faculty to send alerts to the class
  3. Allow faculty to share resources with students
  4. Allow for online discussions
  5. Allow for electronic submission of student work
  6. Allow for evaluation of student work
  7. Provide a way to track student progress
  8. Have strong mobile device support
  9. Let students check their grades
  10. Link to on-line resources, including Library resources
  11. Allow for group work
  12. Make it easy for students to find all their course information and assignments
Some things that would be nice to have:
  1. A portal with my courses, organizations, to dos, calendar
  2. User friendly and attractive
  3. Support the collection of learning analytics

Are there features you’d like that aren’t here? Leave suggestions in a comment.
