LMS review利记sbo has been using Panopto as our lecture capture system (LCS) since 2004. As needs and tools change over time, it is important to continually evaluate them to ensure they are still meeting our needs.

Therefore, 利记sbo is kicking off a LC review. This project involves selecting a lecture capture system (LCS) which serves the needs of Lawrence Technological University’s faculty and students and integrates with our existing LMS (Instructure Canvas).

The goal is to select is to select a lecture capture vendor that can provide a robust, intuitive, easy-to-use system that has exceptional technical support.

Timeline 

Phase 1: Planning
An LCS Review Committee was formed to provide feedback and guide the process. The committee was co-chaired by Tim Chavis, Chief Information Officer, IT Services and Lynn Wietecha, Director eLearning Services and was comprised of:
  • 利记sbo faculty representing all 利记sbo colleges and most academic programs
  • Select 利记sbo administration
  • 利记sbo surveyed faculty to determine critical requirements of any LMS here at 利记sbo

FACULTY SURVEYSurvey results were analyzed and results were shared with the 利记sbo community via a summary video A Request for Proposal was drafted and shared with the committee and revised several times based on suggestions and feedback. Review meetings were held on 6/1/2019 so all committee members could discuss their suggestions. The committee was informed of how their feedback was incorporated via a short summary video The final RFP was posted and shared with vendors on 6/24/2019.

Phase 2: RFP 

The final RFP was posted and shared with vendors on 6/24/2019.

Responding vendors must include the information required in this RFP, both the LMS RFP document and the RFP Addendum. We’ve made the two files available in MS Word and Excel formats to aid completion. The two files are:

  1. LCS Request for Proposal (MS Word)
  2. LCS RFP Addendum (MS. Excel)

利记sbo reserves the right to reject a proposal if required information is not provided or if the proposal not organized as directed in the RFP. 利记sbo also reserves the right to change the evaluation criteria and/or any other provision in the RFP by posting notice of the change(s).
