eeeeee! For a small, funds-limited new school with no paid technical
people, I would steer well clear of Blackboard. Proprietary software
that I hear is expensive, not well-documented, and not very
Internetwork-ian: check out their patent issues at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackboard_Inc . I went looking to learn
Blackboard once, and discovered the only way to do so is to pay
exorbitant sums for training classes. I don't think this is what Michael
is looking for at all.
Moodle.
