Project Briefing: The Afterlives of Courses on the Network: Information Management Issues for Learning Management Systems Clifford Lynch Executive Director Coalition for Networked Information The large-scale deployment of learning management systems (LMS) throughout higher education in recent years raises far-reaching questions that have yet to be defined or addressed in a systematic way. Key questions include: 1) How long does a class site remain a living document? 2) What is included in the "record" of a class? 3) How long is this record kept? and 4) Who has access to this record, and under what circumstances? This session, based on a recent paper for the EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research (ECAR), will explore these questions and their complex implications for institutional policies--from intellectual property rights to records management to documentation of scholarship.
