"One of the more astounding and surprising aspects of course management systems (CMS) is that most anyone who is associated with them, or have used them, are not about to answer whether or not they work at keeping students engaged, or if they are an accurate measure of mastery (Carmean & Brown, 2005). Faculty members embrace them for use in their classes because higher education students embrace the new modes of learning, so little effort is extended to determine their success"

@ Joe
"School systems now faced with diminishing budgets must look at ways to implement CMS in an open-source environment, taking advantage of applications that they can use for free." How true! There are so many great free Web 2.0 tools that are available on the internet that can tackle many of the tasks that CMS needs to achieve. Student input is so important as well. We are the ones using the systems and therefore we are the best ones to critique it and give suggestions on improvement!
