Abstract: The selection of a learning management system (LMS) increasingly impacts all audiences across a college or university campus, whether teaching online or blended formats. Because of this, there is increasing importance for an LMS to be accepted by a multitude of departments and also students. Difference disciplines and different delivery formats require different functionalities from an LMS, so in making a choice for a new system interdisciplinary participation is key. This paper will explore the selection process executed by Carson-Newman College in choosing a new LMS for the fall of 2011.
