Description

This tender concerns the procurement of a SaaS agreement for the delivery, integration, operation, maintenance, and support of a Learning Management System for Copenhagen Business School. This tender concerns the procurement of a SaaS agreement for the delivery, integration, operation, maintenance, and support of a Learning Management System (hereinafter: LMS) for Copenhagen Business School (hereinafter: CBS). A key argument for acquiring a new LMS is to strengthen the support for CBS' blended learning strategy. Therefore, the new LMS must be offered as a comprehensive and total learning platform that can facilitate teaching and learning processes, and enable the beneficial use of digital elements on all programs for both CBS teachers and students. A new LMS must include a learning functionality core, and furthermore act as a meeting point for third-party and/or proprietary learning applications to ease the integration of new digital tools into CBS’ education landscape. CBS expects that a future LMS must be thoroughly tested to e-learning environments, with high stability, in compliance with IT standards, generating value in a university context, and be future-proof. Furthermore, we believe that in order for a new LMS to truly support the strategy of implementing blended learning at CBS, the system must be easy and intuitive to work with for both students, teachers and administrators. A new LMS can help to inspire teachers at CBS to try new teaching methods and share learning materials with each other and the world around CBS, and will focus on the pedagogical and didactic practices that ensure that all students are challenged. As a minimum CBS wishes that the LMS will: — support better learning for more students by offering modern, scalable, and flexible educational tools, with respect to the students' different backgrounds and learning preferences, — help secure the future of educational opportunities by integration with CBS’ other IT systems and incorporate third-party learning applications, — provide a platform that enables automatic gathering of data supporting the continually research and development of education at CBS.
