摘要:This paper presents steps one university took during the implementation stage of a new course management system. To cut costs instead of cutting faculty, the university switched from Blackboard to Moodle. Literature related to both the Technology Acceptance Model and organizational change models provided important considerations regarding implementation, end user concerns and system adoption. At the time of the switch, the authors’ institution faced the additional challenge of very limited budget in a time of severe financial constraints to accomplish faculty conversion to Moodle. In this paper the authors present 12 tips that helped the university implement Moodle within a 12-month timeframe on a “shoestring” budget, along with personal experiences and comments regarding the value of the steps.
