All Stories

The three vendors vying to be the University of Windsor’s next Learning Management System (LMS) have provided the campus community a “sandbox” — or testing version — of their systems to showcase their products and allow UWindsor faculty, staff, and students to get a hands-on experience of the look, feel, and function of each.

The sandbox sites for the three LMS options will be available until April 3 for users to test, provide their insights, and have their opinions included in the evaluation process.

Visit https://www.uwindsor.ca/itservices/lmsreview for instructions to access the sandboxes and links to the feedback form for each system.

In appreciation for taking the time to evaluate these systems, for each feedback form submitted by noon on April 4, individuals will have the opportunity to enter a draw for one of more than 30 prizes, including a grand prize draw for the latest Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.5” tablet for those who complete all three vendor evaluation forms.

For more information about the LMS Review and its timeline, visit the LMS Review website or email lmsreview@uwindsor.ca.

Network improvements by service provider Connecting Windsor-Essex will take the University of Windsor’s internet offline Thursday, March 24, from 12 to 3 a.m.

In addition to the internet access on campus being disrupted, all UWindsor systems will be off-line during the same period, including:

• UWinsite Student
• Blackboard
• MyUWinfo

Users may have to restart or log in again on various platforms when internet service resumes.

If you have difficulties accessing the internet on campus after the outage, contact the IT Service Desk by calling 519-253-3000, ext. 4440. The IT Service Desk opens at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday.
