Students can annotate content with notes and create recordings as part of class assignments. With a single sign-on through Moodle, instructors can create and share videos with slides, in-session quizzes, searchable transcripts, and variable speed playback.
Education is actually one of our biggest segments, and we have many examples of educators using their Ning community to safely collaborate and connect with students, expanding the classroom online. Ning is the largest platform that makes it easy for anyone, from an activist to an entertainer to an individual, to create a completely custom, very powerful social website.

Full disclosure: I work at Ning, and have spoken to many educators about why they use Ning over alternative online options. You also might like to check out as an alternative to the above. I worked with Phill Hill of Delta and Kathy Fernandes of Cal State when I was at Cal State, they are both very informed and informative on this subject. The full DI slide show gives a good deal of information about the current state of the LMS market in Higher Ed:Īnd the full recording of the presentation (in WebEX format) is here Is WebCT a different system to BB Learn? (Can you purchase WebCT from BB)īB purchased WebCT in 2006, and is phasing it's products out - there are still many institutions under contract for WebCT Campus and Vista (even some for WebCT 4 8-0), but most will need to move either to BB Learn/BB NG or to something else over the next few years (the CE/Vista codebase is not being continued as a separate product). Hmmm, I am confused, BB bought WebCT, which is software. There is a good deal of information there and in the related Delta Initiative/Cal State study. Good post and slide with some cost ranges here:

In the end, we went with Moodle not because it is "free" (Robert Heinlein was correct in saying "there is no free lunch") but because it worked and it worked out of the box. The rest of my university is moving to Sakai, however, so, my unit's experience may not have been typical. We tried Sakai with a service provider, but it didn't seem to be ready for prime time, and the provider (as per the contract) provided such minimal help that we left Sakai 1 month after we started the experiment.

After that, we did not know what would happen with the merged WebCT+Bb software coming behind the WebCT enterprise version. That was to move to WebCT's enterprise version. We saw a potentially very expensive licensing fee AND potentially expensive hardware purchases. One reason my division of my university left WebCT was that we did not know the costs, the timeline, etc, resulting from WebCT's purchase by Blackboard. In short, Bb licensing costs vary with the numbers of students and the type of cms you want. Almost every university that has looked at changing cms's has posted their studies publicly. You can find these by googling the usual terms. Over the last 5 years, we found any number of cost estimates, gap estimates, cms comparisons - all the usual documents. I sat/sit on my university's cms committee to find a replacement for WebCT 4.1+ and Bb(whatever version).
