--- Forwarded Message from "Graul, Leslie B." <[log in to unmask]> --- Our contract for Blackboard Enterprise is nearing its end. Although we like the features that this provides, we have too often found the support to be too little too late and the cost to be exorbitant. We are looking at other systems like Moodle, Sakai, perhaps Desire2Learn. We are also looking at the proposed improvements in Blackboard Enterprise 9 in order to decide whether to transition to something else. We do not want to lose a lot of the features that we enjoy in Blacboard Enterprise, and we do not want to lose data. But we have to lower the cost! Most readily available LMS/CMS comparison information is at least several years old. The problems experienced by users at that time have most likely been fixed and replaced with new problems. I know that many schools find themselves in the same boat, or have recently had to decide how to replace WebCT. I would appreciate any information that LLTIers would like to share. *********************************************** 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/).
