  • Abstract
    Ease of use and navigation are important features when selecting a Content Management System (CMS). In this paper we compare two Learning Management Systems (LMS): Blackboard and Desire2Learn. For select administrative tasks we track the number of mouse clicks necessary, number of pages traversed, and data fields inputted. This comparison highlights some of the benefits and limitations between the two systems.
