• Overview of reasons to go online
• What’s unique/advantages/disadvantages
• Introduction to the concept of the LMS
• Overview of the development process
• Identification of major issues to consider, including tests/assessments
• Introduction to most useful tools and concepts; basic definitions
• Identification of resources for help
• Opportunity to at least view (if not navigate in) sample courses
• Questions

In order to provide access to sample courses, we need to know your userid before the workshop begins. Please register by emailing Jackie Jamison (jljamiso@ad.uiuc.edu) before noon Tuesday, March 11. If you find you need to cancel, or cannot attend at this time but would like to attend a future workshop, please also let Jackie know.
