Instructors can request Fall 2012 Moodle courses in SPIRE starting on April 2 2012. Requests for Fall 2012 SPARK courses will be approved under special circumstances. We recommend making the “moo-0ve” to Moodle now!
Moodle will replace SPARK (Blackboard Vista) as the LMS for campus-based courses at the end ofthis calendar year. While SPARK will be available for teaching purposes through 2012, we strongly recommend that instructors use Moodle with their Fall 2012 courses.
