Anybody else had this FoI request? 1. What LMS/VLE is the University currently using? (I believe it is Blackboard, but please correct me if otherwise) 2. When is the current licensing contract with the LMS/VLE vendor due to expire? 3. Similarly, if the University is using any external LMS/VLE support services, when are they due to expire? 4. How many users does your LMS/VLE currently support? 5. Is the University self-hosting the LMS/VLE, or is this dealt by a third-party? 6. How many University employees are assigned to implement, to maintain and to support the LMS/VLE? 7. What is the price of your LMS (per year), broken down into: - Licensing cost of software - Cost of external support services - Cost of salaries and any other costs associated to internal support and maintenance 8. If possible, I would also like to be provided with the following documents (in electronic format): - the LMS/VLE Requirements document(s) used during the selection of your current LMS/VLE - the documents that motivate the selection of your current LMS/VLE among all considered options - if available, any document that analyses the effectiveness and return of investment (ROI) on the use of the current LMS/VLE -- Regards Mark Mark Gamble, FHEA Head of Learning Technology, Centre for Learning, Excellence (Rm D009) University of Bedfordshire Office (+44)1582 489260 ext 9260 Mob (+44)7720 068605 ext 6360 www.beds.ac.uk/learning BREO HELPLINE 01582 489205 / ext 9205 Twitterfeed: @Bedsbreo
