OCAD|Andrew McAllister|amcallister@ocad.ca|416-977-6000|Other|3|LAMP (new) + IIS/Coldfusion (legacy)|MYSQL Cluster|N/A|1000+|Very satisfied|Unsure||We like making our own LMS. It's nice. The user interface for a lot of other LMS systems are awful, which frequently brings us back to our own system.
University of Toronto|Linda Murphy-Boyer|linda.murphy.boyer@utoronto.ca|416-946-5341|BlackBoard Academic Suite|7.2|||September 1, 2009|5000|Satisfied|Unlikely||After much debate and kerfuffle we have now achieved buy-in from most of our instructors. In addition we have spent much time and many resources developing training materials and custom building block modules for grouping, blogging and grafting courses. That said, in my opinion, it would be very unlikely that we would choose another system when our licence comes due next year.
University of Waterloo|Jane Holbrook|jholbroo@uwaterloo.ca|519-888-4567 ext. 35931|Angel|7.2|Windows|Oracle|May 1, 2010|2400|Satisfied|Unsure||We are currently reviewing our complete Online Learning Environment. This is in preparation for making our decision regarding our LMS renewal in 2010 and also to review other learning technologies that are used separately from the current LMS.
Carleton University|Steve Gormley|stephen_gormley@carleton.ca|613-520-2600 ext. 8886|WebCT CE 6|6.2.3|Solaris|Oracle|May 1, 2009|2000|Satisfied|Likely | Moodle, Sakai, D2L, WebCT NG(?)|
University of Ottawa|Alain Erdmer|aerdmer@uottawa.ca|613-562-5800|WebCT Vista|4.2.4|Windows|SQL|April 30, 2009|1516|Satisfied|Likely |D2L, Angel, NG|
Lakehead University|Leslie Malcolm|lmalcolm@lakeheadu.ca|807-343-8210|WebCT CE 4|4.1|Solaris|Not applicable|August 31, 2009|500|Satisfied|Unsure||Although we don't have concrete plans in place to move to a different lms when our current lms licence expires, we will be exploring other platforms throughout the upcoming year. Systems we will be investigating are: Angel, ThinkingCap, Blackboard NG, and open source platforms.
Brock University|Matt Clare|matt.clare@brocku.ca|905-688-5550 ext. 4734|WebCT CE 6 and Sakai|6.2 (WebCT); 2.5 Sakai|Linux (WebCT and Sakai)|WebCT: MS SQL, Sakai: MySQL|WebCT: July 31, 2009|1600|Satisfied|Likely |Sakai|we're running Sakai in parallel this year and will only be running Sakai after WebCT: July 31st 2009. iResults from our Pilot of Sakai and comparison of Sakai, Moodle and WebCT: http://www.brocku.ca/ctlet/sakai/pilot
Queen's University|Bobbi A. Kerlin|kerlinb@queensu.ca|613-533-6000|WebCT CE 4|4.1|Solaris|Not applicable|September 8, 2008|2500|Dissatisfied|Unsure||
Trent University|Mary Jane Pilgrim|mpilgrim@trentu.ca|705 748 1011 ext. 7653|WebCT CE 8|8|Linux|SQL|August 9, 2008|1070|Very satisfied|Unlikely||
University of Guelph|Richard Gorrie|rgorrie@uoguelph.ca|519-824-4120 ext. 53731|Desire2Learn and WebCT CE 8|8.0 (WebCT); ? (D2L)|Linux|Oracle|December 1, 2008|1500|Dissatisfied|Likely |D2L|Currently we use D2L for our distance and continuing ed courses. As of Fall 2009 we hope to use D2L for all U of G courses, migrating from Blackboard CE.
UOIT|Bill Muirhead|bill.muirhead@uoit.ca|905-721-3163|WebCT Vista|||Oracle|July 3, 1909|all courses|Dissatisfied|Likely |Moodle|
University of Waterloo|Andrea Chappell|chappell@uwaterloo.ca|519-888-4567|Angel|7.2|Windows|SQL|May 1, 2010|2400|Satisfied|Unsure||We are currently in the midst of a review of the online learning environment needs of the University of Waterloo. This review has been initiated primarily as a matter of good practice, in anticipation of the expiration of our Angel license in May 2010, as opposed to being prompted by a dissatisfaction with our current product. While we are generally satisfied with our current product, there are areas of concern; we also need to gauge the broader user community's opinion, and review other options.
Wilfrid Laurier University|Sandy Hughes|shughes@wlu.ca|519-884-0710 ext. 4104|WebCT CE 6|6.1.2 (moving to 6.2.3)|Windows|Oracle|August 31, 2008|1500|Dissatisfied|Unlikely||We are just renewing our license for two years until August 31, 2010. In Fall 08 we will begin a full LMS review, therefore the license will allow one year for the review and one year for migration, should we move to a new product. If we need additional time for a migration, we will contract with WebCT on an annual basis.
Ryerson University|Matt Justice|mjustice@ryerson.ca|416-979-5000 ext. 7272|Desire2Learn|7.3||Oracle||2000|Undecided|Unlikely||
University of Western Ontario|Jeff Longland|jeff.longland@uwo.ca|519-661-2111 ext. 85327|WebCT Vista|4.2.3 but soon 8.0.1|Linux Solaris database|Oracle||2500|Satisfied|Unsure||Have some concerns about maintenance of the Vista/CE product lines with the upcoming release of Blackboard's Next Generation product. Many bugs and enhancement requests are being targeted for NG, unfortunately NG is missing a good deal of the functionality that we use in Vista. Said functionality is apparently coming in a later release of NG - but until that point we are left with bugs and enhancement requests that are targeted for a release that we cannot use.
University of Windsor|Darrel Laurendeau|dlaurend@uwindsor.ca|519-253-3000 ext. 3054|Sakai|4.6.2|web-based|Oracle|N/A (open source)|2000|Satisfied|Likely ||
