Course Management Systems (CMS)

A course management system is a software program that runs over the Internet, and integrates several different course functions. The functions that might be integrated into a CMS are: course roster, gradebook software, online quizzing, course surveys, content delivery, bulletin boards, internal email, course syllabi and calendars, databases for photos, areas for student projects and web pages, chat rooms, whiteboards, and various course statistics.

Bspace, WebCT and BlackBoard CMS programs available on the Berkeley campus. There are many more. (links open in a new window)
