RFP - Required Characteristics and Functionalityseem
When looking through this paper, it brings to ones memory learning to write out for sealed out the information for sealed bids on instruments for the music classroom.
One never realizes all the work that goes into getting a bid ready. Fortunately, having a husband in Air Conditioning and Heating/Electrical Work for New Business meant he dealt with bids alot and taught how do to it. Things like who will pay for the shipping of the instruments was something not even considered. When I learned about doing bids, I learned that companies who want your business will absorb the cost of shipping.
The first article I ever wrote in a professional magazine dealt with that very subject. For years, when we ordered instruments, the salesmen just added that shipping cost to it as though it was what must be done. when I learned how to do bids and sealed bids, shipping was never an issue anymore. I learned about drop shipping. It made everyone happy. But meanwhile, it's been a few years since that article was published, but it probably needs to be re-written for younger and newer band orchestra and choral directors and music teachers.
This article, this example, really, of an agreement of elearning with a school, had so many of the same type issues in it, that it brought back memories. It is great to have examples like that, so one can see the ups and downs of dealing with selling a product in a way that makes everyone happy. This contract info is very helpful, especially if any students either become buyers of elearning for a school, or whether one becomes the seller of an elearning program. Even if neither happen, it makes one aware of all that needs to happen when setting up these programs.

LMS/LCMS Selection Process Templates - as stated at the beginning of the document,
| " The selection of a Learning Management and Learning Content Management Systems is an important decision for any organization. This document provides several templates to provide a consistent approach to your selection. These tools are provided in conjunction with the eLearning Guild presentation. " This document if packed with so much information from the request for a proposal template that can be used by anyone. It has a checklist of requirements one looks for when searching for a good elearning tool to use. It has the evaluation tool, so you can keep up with each one looked at and studied. The Pricing, the evaluation process and finally, the comparison of each one looked at for your project. It is simply the matter of changing it to fit your school, your company, or your organization. Not only from that point of view, but if you are writing etraining, this is a great form to use, considering the writer needs to be able to see it from the school's point of view. It is not enough to have a good product, you have to be able to promote the selling points of what makes your product better than the others that may be out there. The use of this tool, with the sample of a colleges' paperwork of evaluating elearning programs is great for both sides to learn from. If I chose to write a great music program, I will have some very good examples from both sides of the elearning experience, as the writer and seller and the purchaser.
