CMS STATS - Course Management Survey: Initial Results

- Results, as of Mar 21, of a University of Nebraska-Lincoln survey of Web-based Course Management Software (CMS) for preferred CMS, indicated the following:

Course Management Software Number of Users Percentage
Blackboard 92 52
WebCT 57 32
Other 22 13
eCollege 3 2
Learning Space 1 0
TopClass 0 0
JonesKnowledge 0 0

Respondents to the survey were from institutions of all sizes with most (78%) being from public institutions. Reliability of CMSs was quite good with over 90% being rated as reliable or very reliable. Perhaps the most interesting question on the survey was: Has, or might, the course management system significantly improve your approach to teaching? Nearly half (46%)of the faculty respondents reported that the CMS system installed on their campus was influencing their approach to teaching. That's an important finding from this survey.
