Conclusion

Conclusion:
The goals presented in this strategic plan will help benefit our community of learners at Uniform City School Districts by improving classroom efficiency, increasing our community of learners communication, reducing district cost, and increasing student performance. Our district is currently functioning with some teachers using their own individual forms of communication and supplemental sites that are used by both students and parents. This has led to some confusion throughout our learning community for administrators, teachers, students and parents.

As noted by Morgan (2003), in her study of the course management system used at the University of Wisconsin, she says "faculty look to course management systems to help them communicate easily with students, to give students access to class documents, and for the convenience and transparency of the online gradebook." With the implementation of Moodle in our district we will be able to provide a more active and powerful teaching and learning environment, that gives each member of our learning community more ownership of their academic courses.

The implementation of the CMS directly aligns with the state and national technology standards for teachers, students, and administrators. This plan also presents the needed equipment, staff support/training, and maintenance strategies needed for the success of this project. Given the necessary financial and intellectual commitment laid out in our strategic plan, Uniform's entire district will be able to engage in a more collaborative and enriching learning community.
