Welcome David FrancisThanks David;

I appreciate your insightful comments, as you've worked inside the industry, and probably have the scars to prove it. If any of us knew what was the perfect pedagogy, with the perfect technology, then we'd have the perfect business model ;-)

It's interesting to see that WebCT and Blackboard's early dominance of the industry has reaped the expected rewards, as many industry observers (me included) thought that it wouldn't work because there was too much competition.
