LMS Survey Results
INTRODUCTION
As part of its efforts in researching strategies, the Florida Task Force on Postsecondary Online
Education’s Technology and Data Issues Committee requested the assistance of institutions
within the public university and college systems, as well as the private, independent
universities and colleges. The Committee used this survey to collect information on the current
and projected use of Learning Management Systems (LMSs) by Florida institutions to deliver
online courses.
These responses are important in developing strategies and recommendations because it will
assist the Committee in creating a complete picture of the current state of LMS adoption and use
in Florida. The results of the survey will be used to determine the desirability and feasibility of
working toward a common LMS platform for Florida colleges and universities.
The survey had eight questions including both open-text and multiple-choice formats. The
participating institutions’ responses are included in the pages that follow, as well as a complete
analysis that details trends found throughout the survey responses.

We recently completed the transition to Canvas LMS and find that it meets
the needs of FGCU faculty and the students find it simple to use.
Switching to another LMS now or in the near future would be a burden to
the FGCU faculty, students, and LMS support staff. It is not clear if you are
describing one installation of the shared LMS that every institution has
sub-accounts with, or the separate installations of the same LMS. One
installation with sub-accounts generates the following concerns:









There may be issues with user accounts.
There may be issues with setting system level rules or activating
system level resources in that not all institutions want the same
settings.
Would require an LMS administrator at the institutional level to have
the ability to make changes as needed.
Support infrastructure with an LMS like Canvas that has a ticketing
system will need to be carefully planned.
We would need a separate test instance.
Some LMS systems limit customizations such as global navigation to a
single JavaScript file. This would be problematic if all institutions
shared one installation.
Timing of course uploads to the LMS may be problematic.
There may be issues accommodating each institution's account
creation needs, for example, we provide every faculty with a sandbox
for testing and use during training. Our training is structured on this
happening.
Institutional Branding within the LMS.
Florida International

Concerns about speed in which state would adopt new service packs that
provide new functionality. The ability for an institution to have single sign
on and integration to systems they use or would like to use. Example
would be ability to deploy blackboard building blocks.
Florida State University
Our infrastructure investment over 15 years and faculty/student/staff
adoption of Blackboard make it unlikely that we would use an alternative
system even at no licensing cost. Licensing cost is a fraction of overall cost
of an LMS and the associated infrastructure, support and training.

often is the product upgraded and on what timeline? What are the
governance conditions around the intellectual property issues? How easy
is it (really) to import courses from our present system to the new system?

Florida Public Universities
Florida International

If the state goes this direction, I would strongly recommend a vendor-hosted
model. I do not believe one LMS would accomplish an increase in
graduation rates in the state or a significant reduction in cost for students. As
a whole the cost would be lower but the per-student cost today of the LMS is
relatively low in comparison to tuition.
New College of Florida
We are a small institution and our LMS is currently hosted. Our current costs
are not that significant.
University of South
Florida
Each institution will need to incorporate grades; how they are delivered to
the local SIS? This could run into a number of issues and should be discussed
(if not already in the mix) in depth. As an example USF requires faculty to
use the LMS to submit grades to the SIS. The online LMS would have to have
the same functionality.
Florida Public Colleges
College of Central Florida
Florida institutions have conducted many RFPs and LMS evaluations over
the past year. If a statewide system is sought, representatives from several of
those institutions, of varying sizes, should be included on the evaluation
committee. The work that has already been done should not need to be
duplicated.
Daytona State College
The greatest asset we have in our LMS is its ability to be highly
customization meeting the diverse needs of most of our programs and the
ability to capture student learning outcome data across all levels. This is a
critical component for our institution and as we use this for accreditation,
improving student success rates and fine-tuning the learning experience. For
a successful LMS migration, it would need to be reliable, accessible, robust,
and flexible and provide these capabilities. There could, however, be
significant cost savings in a shared hosting model as the aggregated FTE
means greater price discounts. It would also be important to have a shared,
centralize support desk for both students and faculty.
There would be a significant short-term investment in migrating but there
could be some major long-term cost savings freeing us to devote more time
to our students and professional development for our faculty. If moving to a
shared environment can help us drive down costs, improve instruction,
increase success rates, and help us better equip our faculty; then such a move
would be worth considering.

Support and reliability are key to any good system. Another consideration
would be the balance needed to find a system complex enough to serve large
institutions, while remaining simple enough to scale to smaller institutions
with less support staff. Choosing a simple system may cause institutions to
require many add-ons to get the outcomes they desire.

This is a very reasonable question to be asking and a good conversation to
have. LMSs have become something of a commodity, so looking for ways to
gain more bang for our buck is a great idea. However, the LMS is also a
crucial component of a faculty member's pedagogy, so that means we would
be messing with something that is very personal to them. That will require a
deal of thought for our institutions, with cost being secondary (especially
since in the end all of these systems cost about the same when all
components are factored in).

To what, if known?
5. If the State of Florida provided to your institution a central, shared learning management
system at no cost, would your institution use it?
Yes, If it was the same brand our institution is currently using
Comments pertaining to question #5:
Provided FGCUs ability to use and customize the LMS was the same or enhanced.
6. If the State of Florida provided to your institution a central, shared learning management
system using a cost sharing model, would your institution use it?
Yes, If it was the same brand our institution is currently using
Comments pertaining to question #6:
Provided FGCUs licensing fee was not increased with the cost-sharing model.
7. Please list any specific factors that would hinder your institution from participating in a
shared, statewide learning management system:
We recently completed the transition to Canvas LMS and find that it meets the needs of FGCU faculty
and the students find it simple to use. Switching to another LMS now or in the near future would be a
burden to the FGCU faculty, students, and LMS support staff. It is not clear if you are describing one
installation of the shared LMS that every institution has sub-accounts with, or the separate installations of
the same LMS. One installation with sub-accounts generates the following concerns:
- There may be issues with user accounts
- There may be issues with setting system level rules or activating system level resources in that not all
institutions want the same settings.
- Would require an LMS administrator at the institutional level to have the ability to make changes as
needed.
- Support infrastructure with an LMS like Canvas that has a ticketing system will need to be carefully
planned.
- We would need a separate test instance
- Some LMS systems limit customizations such as global navigation to a single JavaScript file. This would
be problematic if all institutions shared one installation.
- Timing of course uploads to the LMS may be problematic.
- There may be issues accommodating each institution's account creation needs, for example, we provide
every faculty with a sandbox for testing and use during training. Our training is structured on this
happening.
- Institutional Branding within the LMS

The challenge would be around special processes our university follows and if we would be allowed the
same functionality and access, we currently have. Example would be the ability to cross list courses,
manage dynamic start and end dates.

Comments pertaining to question #6:
7. Please list any specific factors that would hinder your institution from participating in a
shared, statewide learning management system:
Concerns about speed in which state would adopt new service packs that provide new functionality. The
ability for an institution to have single sign on and integration to systems they use or would like to use.
Example would be ability to deploy blackboard building blocks.
8. Please share any additional comments or advice:
If the state goes this direction, I would strongly recommend a vendor-hosted model. I do not believe one
LMS would accomplish an increase in graduation rates in the state or a significant reduction in cost for
students. As a whole the cost would be lower but the per-student cost today of the LMS is relatively low
in comparison to tuition.

system using a cost sharing model, would your institution use it?

Maybe is the real answer. It depends in this case on what the cost is. We are a small institution and it is
not clear that a cost-sharing model would be lower cost than what we are currently paying.
7. Please list any specific factors that would hinder your institution from participating in a

Same as above. It is an idea worth exploring, but the system would need to be flexible enough to support
different configurations for different institutions. As an example, we have building blocks that have been
developed here to meet our needs that would need to be supported or replaced, not to mention clicker
blocks and other integrations whose functionality would need to be replicated or migrated into a central

Comments pertaining to question #5:
That is assuming that the costs of managing internal tools that tie to USF Business Systems are included. I
do not foresee a true 'no cost' solution. Sixty percent of USF students take at least one online class a year
and we would have to apply our tools to work with the online system. Additional concern is who and
how do we support (Help Desk, Training) two systems. Although similar, there will be differences that
will affect a large part of the student body.

Comments pertaining to question #6:
Only if it does not add the cost of running our normal LMS. Same issues apply otherwise. This will be a
problem in that we pay 8.82 per FTE and 90% of the students take a F2F course. Yet 60% take an online
course. How will we work out a license that covers our cost for both LMS’s?
7. Please list any specific factors that would hinder your institution from participating in a
shared, statewide learning management system:
1. Student experience using two separate LMSs to access courses and grade books.
2. Support effort required to support separate F2F and online LMS's. Primary concern is Help Desk and
Training.
3. Ability to integrate with our Business Systems; especially without having to re-invent the wheel.
4. Sunk cost of existing system and additional cost to duplicate existing services.
8. Please share any additional comments or advice:
Each institution will need to incorporate grades; how they are delivered to the local SIS? This could run
into a number of issues and should be discussed (if not already in the mix) in depth. As an example, USF
requires faculty to use the LMS to submit grades to the SIS. The online LMS would have to have the same
functionality.

We are currently evaluating ERPs and the LMS is part of that discussion.
To what, if known?
5. If the State of Florida provided to your institution a central, shared learning management
system at no cost, would your institution use it?
Yes
Comments pertaining to question #5:
Yes, if some or all of these criteria are fulfilled: faculty approval; preservation of analytics and learning
outcomes data; 99.9% uptime or greater; improved security measures; consistent and optimal user
experience (limited to no sluggishness); 508 compliance; ERP integration so enrollments and other
functions are automated; highly configurable to support mini-semesters/6-week/8-week/12-week/16week terms and open enrollment options; learning outcome assessment and reporting at the section,
course, program and institutional levels; assistance with migration of courses and learning materials; and
the ability to create individual student learning plans.
6. If the State of Florida provided to your institution a central, shared learning management
system using a cost sharing model, would your institution use it?
Yes
Comments pertaining to question #6:
Again, it would depend on if some or all of these criteria are met or offered: faculty approval;
preservation of analytics and learning outcomes data; 99.9% uptime or greater; improved security
measures; consistent and optimal user experience (limited to no sluggishness); 508 compliance; ERP
integration so enrollments and other functions are automated; highly configurable to support minisemesters/6-week/8-week/12-week/16-week terms and open enrollment options; learning outcome
assessment and reporting at the section, course, program and institutional levels; assistance with
migration of courses and learning materials; and the ability to create individual student learning plans.
7. Please list any specific factors that would hinder your institution from participating in a
shared, statewide learning management system:
The major factors that would hinder us from participating would be the loss of all student learning
outcome data at the section, course, program, and institutional level; non-508 compliance; and a lack of
faculty buy-in. We also have made a significant investment in professional development and would have
to redevelop all of our training materials and re-certify our faculty.
8. Please share any additional comments or advice:
The greatest asset we have in our LMS is its ability to be highly customization meeting the diverse needs
of most of our programs and the ability to capture student learning outcome data across all levels. This is
a critical component for our institution and as we use this for accreditation, improving student success
rates and fine-tuning the learning experience. For a successful LMS migration, it would need to be
reliable, accessible, robust, and flexible and provide these capabilities. There could, however, be
significant cost savings in a shared hosting model as the aggregated FTE means greater price discounts. It
would also be important to have a shared, centralize support desk for both students and faculty. There
would be a significant short-term investment in migrating but there could be some major long-term cost
savings freeing us to devote more time to our students and professional development for our faculty. If
moving to a shared environment can help us drive down costs, improve instruction, increase success
rates, and help us better equip our faculty; then such a move would be worth considering.

Sakai has served the needs of SSC well, in large
part due to the agile customization capabilities
afforded. The LMS technology environment is a
hybrid model where the physical servers are
housed on campus, yet supported and customized
by an external consulting company. This has
proved to be a good fit for SSC.

if it was the same LMS that we have now.

system using a cost sharing model, would your institution use it?
Yes, If it was the same brand our institution is currently using
Comments pertaining to question #6:
It would depend on the cost. If 'Maybe' was a choice, I would choose it.
7. Please list any specific factors that would hinder your institution from participating in a
shared, statewide learning management system:
We would be deterred if the system lacked the functionality that we are accustomed to using. This might
include such items as the ability to: deliver our courses, brand our different entities, use analytics for
college wide reporting and to enhance student success, transfer our courses effectively to the new system,
integrate related functions and systems (surveys, web conferencing, video, etc.) use conditional release to
customize the learning experience and provide appropriate feedback, etc.
8. Please share any additional comments or advice:
Support and reliability are key to any good system. Another consideration would be the balance needed
to find a system complex enough to serve large institutions, while remaining simple enough to scale to
smaller institutions with less support staff. Choosing a simple system may cause institutions to require
many add-ons to get the outcomes they desire.

5. If the State of Florida provided to your institution a central, shared learning management
system at no cost, would your institution use it?
Yes
Comments pertaining to question #5:
Florida Tech would be interested in considering the option. It would require faculty endorsement and a
review of the cost to move platforms. This is assuming the LMS offers the same feature set as used
currently and required by campus.
6. If the State of Florida provided to your institution a central, shared learning management

Yes
Comments pertaining to question #6:
The same requirements noted in number 5 would need to be met and the overall cost would need to be a
reduction to the current level of expense to justify the platform switch.
7. Please list any specific factors that would hinder your institution from participating in a
shared, statewide learning management system:
There are a number of factors that would need to be reviewed prior to participation. This includes but
may not be limited to overall cost, services, security of the system and intellectual property, down time,
service contracts, maintenance, and overall admin level control of the system.

have to be a significant improvement over our present system.
7. Please list any specific factors that would hinder your institution from participating in a
shared, statewide learning management system:
There are any number of technical issues that could hinder the process. How easy is it for us to populate
courses (both at the beginning of the semester and for add-drops)? How easy is it for us to merge classes
or do other customizations? How easy is it to actually use, for both faculty and students? What features
are available and how easy are those to use? What can we expect in terms of uptime? How is disaster
recovery handled? How often is the product upgraded and on what timeline? What are the governance
conditions around the intellectual property issues? How easy is it (really) to import courses from our
present system to the new system? The list goes on and on. We all have an LMS at our institution and
most of us have gone through the effort of changing it (at least once). This is not a small endeavor for any
of our schools.

5. If the State of Florida provided to your institution a central, shared learning management

Yes, If it was the same brand our institution is currently using
Comments pertaining to question #5:
While UT does not offer online courses at this time, we do use a LMS (Blackboard) to teach hybrid
courses that include online learning.
To answer this questions completely: Yes, if it was the same brand our institution is currently using and
the issues listed in response to question #7 were resolved to our satisfaction.
6. If the State of Florida provided to your institution a central, shared learning management
system using a cost sharing model, would your institution use it?
Yes, If it was the same brand our institution is currently using
Comments pertaining to question #6:
Yes, if it was the same brand our institution is currently using, issues listed in question #7 were
satisfactorily resolved, and the cost made business sense (<= current costs). Also, future cost controls
would need to be factored in.
7. Please list any specific factors that would hinder your institution from participating in a
shared, statewide learning management system:
Prior to considering these options, a thorough understanding and acceptance of answers to the following
questions would be needed (not a comprehensive list):
a. How would the University’s data be protected (e.g. encryption at rest, in transit, on backups, etc.), back
up frequency & retention cycle, restore turnaround time, etc.?
b. Would the LMS be shared by both private and public universities?
c. What bandwidth/capacity would be available?
d. Would 24x7 support be available?
e. What plans would be included for business continuity/disaster recovery? Would there be out-of-state
failover/redundancy?
f. What would be the up-time Service Level Agreement? What would be the maintenance window?
g. Would there be any interface limitations with other applications? Ex. video streaming
h. How would access be managed, what turnaround time?
i. What LMS? If not our existing LMS, there are many issues relative to faculty acceptance, training,
migration of existing data, etc.
j. How would the service operation be managed? ITIL compliant?
k. Would need to provide proof of regulatory compliance FERPA, PII, others.
l. How would the service be funded (state funds?) and what are the associated risks of potentially
reduced funding?
m. Would the system allow for flexibility? Ex. UT change in course delivery model, ability to keep up
with learning technology innovations (mobile devices, etc.)
n. We (or our faculty) would have to retain ownership of the IP rights to all materials on the LMS
Board of Governors

o. Use of the system would not have any strings attached, including new reporting obligations on our
students, outcomes or academic programs that we do not already have.
p. How long would the contract last (given particularly the rapidly changing world of technology and
technologically mediated teaching and learning).
q. Is the discussion about the LMS narrowly defined, or does it include associated modules for outcomes
assessment, lecture capture, etc.?
