Compare and contrast the two (2) selected systems using a SWOT analysis on each system and summarize the main findings from your analysis.

Assignment 2: SWOT Analysis and Presentation Based on the feedback from your professor for the first assignment, you will continue working on your recommendations for an LMS for your organization. You must compare and contrast two (2) different LMSs using a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis on each system that you have identified as two (2) potential solutions. Once you have completed the SWOT analysis, you will create a presentation for the organization so that they are able to make the best choice possible. You must submit the SWOT analysis and your recommendation as two (2) separate files for the completion of this assignment. Label each file name according to the section of the assignment it is written for.

Write a two to four (2-4) page paper in which you: Select one (1) proprietary LMS and one (1) open-access LMS that provide viable solutions for your organization. Provide a rationale for your selections. Compare and contrast the two (2) selected systems using a SWOT analysis on each system and summarize the main findings from your analysis. Based on your SWOT analysis, recommend the LMS that you believe will best support the organization’s needs. Justify your response. Create a five to ten (5-10) minute presentation for your organization explaining your recommendation for an LMS. Note: The presentation may be completed in PowerPoint, Prezi, video, other presentation software, or as a written script. The presentation file is not included in the required assignment page length. You can record the audio for your presentation or include a written script. Typically, you should allocate about one (1) minute per slide. Provide at least three (3) reliable, relevant, peer-reviewed references (no more than one [1] used previously), published within the last five (5) years that support the paper’s claims. Assignment 3: Designing Curriculum for Your LMS Now that you have identified an LMS for your organization, you need to determine several assets that you would include in your courses or training. You will also need to decide if the material will be delivered synchronously, asynchronously, or as a hybrid of the two. Write a two to four (2-4) page paper in which you: Determine at least four (4) different learning assets (e.g., lecture, video, discussion, test / quiz, etc.) that can be integrated in the LMS. Note: At least two (2) of the assets that you determine should be interactive. Determine the delivery modality (i.e., synchronously, asynchronously, or as a hybrid) for each asset that you have identified and how the related delivery modality will work the best for your organization. Provide a rationale for your response. Create an outline of five (5) curriculum objectives that support your learning assets and provide one (1) sample for each chosen learning asset for the curriculum. Note: The samples can be short and simple depending on your course topic. The goal is to test whether the assets work functionally in the LMS. The sample file pages are not included in the required assignment page length. Specify the key stakeholders who are responsible for managing the assets and what criteria they will use to manage. Analyze how each asset enhances the educational goals of your course and examine the way(s) in which the LMS supports those goals. Provide at least three (3) reliable, relevant, peer-reviewed references (no more than one [1] used previously), published within the last five (5) years that support the paper’s claims. The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are: Compare synchronous, asynchronous, and hybrid learning methods. Identify appropriate instructional materials for use within an LMS. Use technology and information resources to research issues in technology tools to manage learning. Write clearly and concisely about issues in technology tools to manage learning using proper writing mechanics
