Change is hard. It disrupts our lives. Come take a part in a role-play as we discuss LMS transitions on three campuses. Changes like this drive faculty crazy. How do learning technology staff members both drive change and help faculty cope with the change at the same time? In higher education, change can be fascinating, inspiring, and well, sometimes fun.
