The presenters will engage the audience in a conversation of transformation and large scale deployment during a time of rapid change in higher education and budgetary uncertainty. Starting with the lessons learned from the deployment of a learning management system to the 31 colleges and universities in the University System of Georgia and the challenges of serving more than 300,000 students, the presentation will build on this foundation to discuss the future: state MOOCs, multi-agency support, and innovation.
