SaaS agreement for the delivery, integration, operation, maintenance, and support of a Learning Management System (LMS).
DTU's new LMS should offer a total package of learning tools and provide the ability to integrate with other solutions by known standards. It is the vision that a new LMS must be offered as a comprehensive and total learning platform that can facilitate the teaching and learning processes, and enable the beneficial use of digital elements on all programs for both DTU 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 meet DTU's present and future needs. DTU 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. A new LMS will form the foundation to simplify processes in execution and administration of teaching and learning. The central student administration will continue to take place at a DTU system and will not be part of this tender. A new LMS should help to inspire teachers at DTU to try new teaching methods and share learning materials with each other and the world around DTU, and will focus on the pedagogical and didactic practices that ensure that all students are challenged. DTU wishes that the LMS will form the basis: — to support better learning for more students by offering modern, scalable, and flexible educational tools, with respect to the students' different backgrounds and learning preferences. — to secure the future of educational opportunities by integration with DTU's other IT systems and incorporate third-party learning applications. — for a better strategic decision making platform by providing system support for automatic gathering of data for developing education.
