The Search
• Timeline:
•   Sept, 2011 – Committee Formed
•   Oct, 2011 – Faculty Surveyed
•   Nov, 2011 – RFP Out
•   Jan, 2012 – RFPs scored, Finalists Chosen
•   Feb, 2012 – Sandboxes Open to Faculty Testers
•   Mar, 26th, 27th – Onsite Demos, Successful Vendor
    Chosen
Why Canvas?
Why Canvas:
• First choice of faculty testers
• Highest score on technical response
• Highest score on vendor references
• Hosts in the cloud
• Great use of mobile and social media
• Integration and sharing/trust relationships
Timeline/What Happens Next
Timeline
•   July 2012 – Contract begins
•   Summer 2012 – Integration and Set Up
•   Fall 2012 – Pilots and Scaled Up Training
•   Winter 2013 – Colleges transition on their schedule
•   June 2014 – ANGEL contract ends
Cost Model (Prospective)
• FTE based rather than active user
• Will cost less than $4 per active user
• Questions:
  – Is the learning management system a core
    technology?
  – If so, should it be centrally funded?
