Transitioning
from Course Management Systems
Many institutions
are finding it necessary, due to steep price increases from commercial
course management systems, to take existing online materials and courses
out of those two systems. UNI Distance Education Consulting Services can
help you efficiently transfer your materials to eliminate dependence on
software systems that charge for hosting your online materials. Contact
us to discuss how to remove this costly item from your budget.
