SPARK
SPARK is the Learning Management Systems (LMS) for campus courses and is based on the Blackboard Vista Learning Management System. SPARK will be replaced by Moodle at the end of 2012.
SPARK will no longer be used for teaching beginning in Spring 2013, and will be available for Fall 2012 courses by special request only. We recommend making the move to Moodle now.
