Week 2 Comment - Jeff Kohls



With the advent and growing popularity of LMSs and CMSs, more and more companies and educational institutions are looking for ways to manage their staff, faculties, and students. This includes very large institutions such as the United States Military, which has several thousand individuals that it must not only manage, but train as well. In many cases, companies or educational will hire-out the development and building of these systems. However, there has been a trending shift that many of these institutions have followed, and that's building their own systems. The cost for pre-made LMS/CMS provided by specialized companies runs high, especially when serving large populations. The cost to develop and run an in-house LMS/CMS can often be double or more the cost of a specialized company's cost.

@ Jeff
I think that it is great that Full Sail recognizes the quickness in which new information becomes available. It has been said by many of our instructors that the information we are learning will be replaced with new almost immediately. Remembering back, several instructors talked about how they had changed their course from month to month based on the feedback of students. It is nice to know that our comments do have a purpose in that they make the content more effective to us as individuals. We are lucky to be able to retake classes with our degree path in the future without additional cost.
