ETS Pilots New LMS and Plans for bSpace Update
Posted April 26, 2013 | Article

Based on considerable feedback from our user community about the limitations of bSpace (powered by Sakai), ETS has undertaken an effort to find a Learning Management System (LMS) better suited to Berkeley faculty and student needs.
