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.

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 ------------------------------------------------------------- Deanne Cobb-Zygadlo Director, Language Resource Center Kutztown University of Pennsylvania phone: 484-646-5865 email: [log in to unmask] *********************************************** LLTI is a service of IALLT, the International Association for Language Learning (http://iallt.org/), and The Consortium for Language Teaching and Learning (http://www.languageconsortium.org/).
