Learning Checkup: 
How to evaluate your LMS and plan ahead for 2026

What if change felt less disruptive? 

What if you could deliver learning in a way that felt intuitive for faculty and students?

In our Learning Checkup session, we speak with Dr. Ray Lutzky and Ryan Hazen to find out how higher education teams can evaluate their LMS, decide what to keep or improve, and plan transitions on their own terms. 


You’ll learn how to perform a quick-yet-meaningful review of governance, integrations, course design, and learner experience, what a low-disruption migration actually involves, and where open, flexible technology — and responsible AI — can raise the quality of teaching and learning. You’ll leave with a simple review framework, a view of the migration journey, and practical next steps you can apply immediately.


Here's what to expect:
  • Clarity and control in change. Tips on how to evaluate your current LMS and plan transitions on your own terms.
  • A smoother path to migration. What a low-disruption LMS change really looks like, and how purpose-built tools can help.
  • A future-ready learning experience. Discover how an open ecosystem and responsible AI framework help institutions enhance teaching and learning.

You’ll leave the session with a handy workbook, a simple review framework, a view of the migration journey, and practical next steps you can apply immediately.
