RFI finally done!

Wow, it's finally done. After months of research and collaboration I think we've finally nailed this Request for Information (RFI). Over the months, we've managed to take all the current administrative, instructional and technical features available on WebCT 4.1 and more importantly we've added desired features into one 37 page document containing over 450 checkpoints. Many of the desired features from the instructional and administrative areas relied heavily not only on our past experiences but also on the feedback we received from faculty, teaching support staff and students over the years.

One thing's for sure: the only reason we have a robust RFI is because each and every one of us in the LMS Group (alpha: Laila Bastedo, Wayne Cai, Colin Czerneda, Katrina Espanol, Herman Poon) through the support of the director Bart Strong, brought our varying perspectives and strengths into this collaborative document. I am personally excited about this endeavour and in particular, eager to see the advances in LMS products especially in the areas of learner controlled and collaborative features. It will be be a tough ride over the next couple years, but well worth the effort.
