Abstract

Finding a learning management system that matches the needs of an educational content provider is often seen as a difficulty. In the collaboration between acl, a provider of English language courses, and NextEd, a provider of educational infrastructure, much effort has been made to align the delivery system and the content. This enquiry examined the changes which were made by both partners to improve the delivery of the content, and asked key participants about their satisfaction with the outcomes. Overall the level of satisfaction was high, though more so for educational and delivery outcomes than for organisational ones. The close collaboration of the two organisations has resulted in significant progress in improving the delivery of the educational content.
