By January of 2013, a new Learning Management System, Desire2Learn, is planned to replace GeorgiaVIEW.

“We began looking about a year ago for something to replace GeorgiaVIEW. As you know, it’s a tired program,” said Vice President for Information Technology and Chief Information Officer Steve Burrell.

Pilots of the program will be used throughout summer and fall of 2012 before full implementation, said Burrell.

Desire2Learn is allows more options for teachers and students than GeorgiaVIEW, said Stephan Meyer, the speaker for the Desire2Learn sessions.

“GeorgiaVIEW is kind of restricting as far as what you can do with your students and what your students can do,” said Meyer. “Desire2Learn is a system that allows for differences in how people teach. You may not need as much control in a certain area if you’re in nursing as if you were in business.”
