Why do the decision makers lack vision? Here's a change to save money, train staff, and get in the ed-tech fast lane. Why let the visual element be the decision point? Ironically, Moodle can have a lot of different looks. Here's an innovate free course on Instructional Design delivered via Moodle: www.kineolearning.com/60minutemasters My site looks like moodle, but has some pop! http://21cif.mrooms.net Hope you can make some local changes. Try to find out what your current cms costs per student per year. Moodlerooms can do it for about a dollar a student. Den Maria, I’m sorry you and your colleagues are suffering.

While our college cuts staff, faculty, classroom resources, etc. we have paid through the nose for an LMS. Why? Too scared that online courses might look a little bit different from each other if we don't. Agreed.
