Previously, I was the student help desk coordinator and I work primarily with the Student Help Desk, WebCT/Blackboard for faculty. I am only 77% Geek.

Your very own CMS
CMS means two distinctly different things to folks in educational IT. It's the more common acronym for Content Management System. But it also stands for Course Management System. I'm using CMS to stand for Course Management System in a current project, though it's largely interchangeable, if inaccurate, with LMS (Learning Management System), VLE (Virtual Learning Environment), BLME (Blended Learning Management Environment), LCMS (Learning Content Management System) and so on. It's quite the mess, but we're going to stick with calling it CMS most of the time, and LMS when we slip.
