As of June 1, 2012, Moodle became Elon's primary learning management system (LMS). The transition from Blackboard to Moodle was the result of a two-year LMS evaluation led by Teaching and Learning Technologies (TLT) and the Academic Technology and Computing Committee (ATACC). The evaluation targeted academic needs such as, course navigation, ease of use, communication and organizational tools, course content, and assessment. Elon has partnered with Moodlerooms, a provider of e-learning solutions, for our campus installation of Moodle.
