This past year I have been studying under Jan Plass (He coordinates NYU's Administration, Leadership and Technology Department). I am in the final week in completing a two-semester course in Cognitive Science and Educational Technology. As part of this class, we discussed the design-effectiveness of information management systems like Blackboard.
I just received an article entitled, Places to go: Moodle by Stephen Downes from the journal Innovate on a new open source IMS called 'Moodle.' This looks like a healthy (and free!) alternative which could really help to accelerate distance learning.
Check it out!
