"McGee et al. (2004) explains that a need for assessment goes beyond the need to asses tools. Careful attention should be paid to assessing the needs of the instructors using the CMS, assessing what the learner finds valuable, how leadership in the institution will find the resources to support the costly endeavor of a CMS, in addition to what other resources or programs will need to be cut as a requirement of the CMS. "
Dana,
This is a very interesting article. It seems that it always comes down to being able to properly afford the system. Assessing the needs of the instructor is incredibly important not only with CMS, but with just about any technology that is integrated into educational institutions. The article touches on the fact leaders must find sources to support the costly endeavor of a CMS, in addition to what other resources or programs will need to be cut as a requirement of the CMS. This is crucial in order for any program to survive. Many times schools such as mine order incredible equipment, but fail to train the teachers on how to properly use it.
Nice job on your post.
