Presentation Abstract

Course materials developed within Learning Management Systems (LMS) raise a number of planning and archival issues for institutions. Even in the best of worlds, when a single LMS is used to deliver course offerings, managing course materials for future use and identifying and retaining institutional records such as grade books is difficult. This briefing will present a conceptual model for managing active, currently inactive, and archival courses and embedded institutional records.
