Brave New (Pedagogical) World: Participating in the Selection of – and Actually Using – a New Course Management System

When the University of Rhode Island was faced with the opportunity to upgrade the current course management system (CMS) or to select a new one, two librarians asked for a seat at the table. Once the decision was made, one librarian opted to dive into the new system and run a section of an online 3-credit Information Literacy class using the newly adopted technology. Both the librarian – the first instructor on campus to move an entire class into the system – and the students in the class became pioneers in a new pedagogical world. This paper presentation will describe the selection process, describe some of the lessons learned from being a pioneer, and will share some practical tips for teaching undergraduate students how to work individually and collaboratively in a world of technological uncertainty
