Assignment 3: Designing Curriculum for Your LMS

Due Week 7 and worth 160 points

Now that you have identified an LMS for your organization, you need to determine several assets that you would include in your courses or training. You will also need to decide if the material will be delivered synchronously, asynchronously, or as a hybrid of the two.

Write a two to four (2-4) page paper in which you:

1. Determine at least four (4) different learning assets (e.g., lecture, video, discussion, test / quiz, etc.) that can be integrated in the LMS. Note: At least two (2) of the assets that you determine should be interactive.
2. Determine the delivery modality (i.e., synchronously, asynchronously, or as a hybrid) for each asset that you have identified and how the related delivery modality will work the best for your organization. Provide a rationale for your response.
3. Create an outline of five (5) curriculum objectives that support your learning assets and provide one (1) sample for each chosen learning asset for the curriculum.

Note: The samples can be short and simple depending on your course topic. The goal is to test whether the assets work functionally in the LMS. The sample file pages are not included in the required assignment page length.

Note: You may use assets that you created from others courses (e.g., EDU 522, etc.).

1. Specify the key stakeholders who are responsible for managing the assets and what criteria they will use to manage.
2. Analyze how each asset enhances the educational goals of your course and examine the way(s) in which the LMS supports those goals.  
3. Provide at least three (3) reliable, relevant, peer-reviewed references (no more than one [1] used previously), published within the last five (5) years that support the paper’s claims.

7.  Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:

a.  Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.

b.  Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.

c.  Include a reference page. Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.

QUESTION ONE

When comparing proprietary LMS, there are 3 top vendors in the market namely; Litmos, Learn Upon and TalentLMS. However, when looking at the best LMS an organization would consider using, Litmos is the right choice to consider. This is because Litmos unifies learning management, extended enterprise and content management systems to meet organization training needs (Noe et al. 2016). It also lets users build logical learning paths, send messages and notifications and track corporate compliance. It supports Tin Can and SCORM content, mobile access and many third-party applications.

For an organization looking to use an open access LMS, Moodle is without doubt one of the best. It features multimedia support, dashboards and learner tracking (McGill et al. 2015). It also gives a user the ability to create mobile friendly online courses and integrate third party add-ons. Moodle stands out because of its ‘user community’ tool which unlike many other open source solutions helps you get answers almost immediately by accessing the online support database and downloading pre-made eLearning courses thus saving you the time and trouble of creating them from scratch.

QUESTION TWO

Looking at Moodle, its feature in multimedia support, dashboard and learner tracking make it one of the best open source LMS one can rely on. It however may be a little complicated for new users, and this gives their rivals an advantage over them. Creating an open source license is free since no cost is incurred when joining this plan. That’s an opportunity that saves the organization money and attracts more customers to join the plan. The major threat to Moodle as an open source LSM is that the system may a little more complicated compared to those of PLM’s and that makes it hard for new users to familiarize with the system. That threatens the popularity of the system since new users are unlikely to use it if it’s going to give them a hard time.

The benefits of using Litmos as a Proprietary Learning Management System compared to other rivals is that it lets users build logical learning paths, send messages and notifications and track corporate compliance (Dougiamas et al. 2013). Although despite that, it still has a weakness. Its systems cannot be used to train customers, students, partners or employees and can’t be customized to one’s own needs. However, it still supports Tin Can and SCORM content and also mobile access and some other third-party applications. The organization can use that as an opportunity to attract more customers. There’s also access to a range of added premium features which are not available to clients who choose open source systems.

QUESTION THREE

Based on this analysis, the proprietary LMS would support the organization’s needs much better than the open source. The organization may incur costs setting up one but despite that, there’s a lot the organization would gain from using choosing to use it over the open source. With a 24-hour customer service and support, there will be a high customer satisfaction rate and that will most likely elevate their brand reputation. Open source systems may be free but still one may incur costs (Cole et al. 2017). For example, if the organization decided to adopt Moodle, the software may cause nothing. However, they would still have to purchase servers to host it and they would also have to hire or train people to run the servers and optimize the software to work effectively.
