My favorite quotes:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. “[Blackboard is] a one-stop shop where students can come and get absolutely any access to me, any access to the teaching assistants.” — Philip Wirtz<\/li>\n
  2. “[Open source] classroom management systems [like Sakai and Moodle] are becoming increasingly popular because they allow schools to adapt the software to meet their needs.”<\/li>\n
  3. “Even though Blackboard continues to grow through acquisitions, Klopfer says the company could face competition from\u00c2\u00a0Google in the collegiate market.”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It would have been good to have more points of view such as from schools using open source products. At least they were not completely ignored.<\/p>\n

    The Google angle seems more of a stretch. There is no reason why the existing Google Apps for Education<\/a> or other similar cloud tools could not not be used for the purpose of interacting with students. Reasons for why not to do so depend on distrust of the cloud.<\/p>\n
