LMS Evaluation Tool User Guide
This Guide document is to help the user to start working with the software tool (Excel spreadsheet) for evaluating Learning Management Systems (LMS's). The guide is written for people who will be actually using the tool to evaluate the LMS software. It assumes that you have a basic understanding of spreadsheets, and some working knowledge of either Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice.org. It is not a reference for either of these spreadsheet products.
We encourage you to open the spreadsheet and follow along as you go through this user guide. The first sections of this guide provide an overview of the tool. The concluding sections provide instruction on how to use the tool as it is. It does not provide instructions for modification.
COL makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or application of the material in this report which represents the opinions of the assessors, nor does it warrant the claims of any of the products. The results and recommendations may or may not apply to the specific circumstances of third parties. Third party use, therefore, is at the discretion of the user.
