To add to Brent's comments, there are a couple of places in Diana Oblinger's Educause publication, Educating the Net Generation (http://www.educause.edu/EducatingtheNetGeneration/5989), that say LMS solutions are used more for administrative purposes than learning purposes.

Jason Cole is right (see his 31 July 2006 comment above) that, overall, we face a huge task of convincing faculty and students that the change is warranted, that it will lead to greater learning success, etc., when we have had a hard time doing it until now. However, that doesn't mean that it is impossible. My metaphor is that I am a tugboat on the side of the Titanic, only able to push a little bit. (Large organizations tend to react slowly!) More importantly than just my pushing, though, is communicating with the tugboats on the other side that are pushing the other way.

This is why I am going back to study org change!
