We wanted students to have the freedom and creativity to express themselves. We wanted a strong assessment management system that went along with that,” she said. Keeping budget in mind, the committee examined a lot of products, including open source options. But, she explained, “you have to have the tech staff to support and maintain and administer [open source software]. We really didn’t have anybody we could dedicate to a project like that.” Then the committee tried out Digication . “We did a Webinar with Jeff Yan, the CEO of the company. Everyone in the room agreed. There were smiles all around. We looked no further,” Gambino said. Tunxis did a pilot in spring 2009 and migrated last summer to start the fall 2009 semester with the new product.”
