Using Google Apps to manage content and data

Rather than purchasing an enterprise Learning Management System, West Belden uses Google Apps for Education (GAFE) to manage online learning.

One of West Belden’s key challenges has been finding the right learning management system (LMS). They have gone so far as to work in-depth with multiple software providers, attempting to customize off-the-shelf offerings to meet their needs. In spite of their efforts, they have not been able to find the right LMS, or at least not one that justifies the time and dollar cost. As such, currently they employ Google Drive and related Google Apps as their primary LMS.
