John Graham replied to Alana Riley's discussion Which comes first: Portal or LMS?"I know the post is a bit old, but If you have a few minutes I'd like to touch base and maybe chat with your LMS guys if you are still connected with them."
Michael A. Smith replied to Alana Riley's discussion Datatel Colleague & Portal Integration"Hi, Lauren,
Sorry, I can see in retrospect why that could be confusing. When I said we are a Datatel school, I meant we use Datatel as our SIS. We haven't committed to a portal project yet.
