Abstract
(Supported by KOTESOL's MCALL SIG)
Ever wanted to try out a Learning Management System (LMS), but feel overwhelmed by the choice and don't know which one will suit you best? Come along and watch as the Knights of the LMS battle it out for your favor!
A great opportunity to learn more about individual LMS (and what LMS actually are) as each representative introduces their preferred system. Followed by the chance to interrogate the knights to find out how some of the main LMS work and which LMS is the perfect one for you!
The panel will include representatives for Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard and Google Classroom.
