ABSTRACT
The old adage of "If you build it, he will come"2 is not necessarily true when it comes to a Learning Management System. These systems require a little more care and support to encourage faculty to adopt and utilize them as a tool for their classrooms. In order to avoid the pitfalls of neglect and indifference that was exhibited towards our previous learning management system, the Client Services department at Lewis & Clark College had to embark on a mission of evangelism to excite the faculty about using Moodle. This paper will discuss the choice to move to Moodle, and the process to move faculty and students towards accepting Moodle as a part of not only the campus learning environment, but the campus community as a whole. The author will also explore data from a student and faculty survey as to where Moodle currently stands on campus.
