Hi Deanne,
We've been using Desire2Learn for several years here and have had really
positive results. The admin interface is really robust and flexible, and the
students like it a lot better than Blackboard.
Feel free to contact me if you'd like to talk about general pros and cons vs.
Blackboard.
Best,
John

Hi,
I heard a "rumour" around our institution yesterday that our current
Blackboard system is to be replaced with Desire 2 Learn this summer.
The decision is rumoured to be going forward without the planned
consultations due to our current BB license coming due; however, I
have not yet had this substantiated.
When I searched the LLTI listserv to learn whether anyone was using
this system with foreign languages, I noticed just one discussion from
2004 warning that at that time it was not Unicode compliant. I am
wondering if anyone has any recent experience with this system to say
whether or not this has been rectified or if there is any other
feedback, concerns or jubilations on this product.
All the best,
Deanne
