Quote :

"We are currently investigating the possibility of using an open source learning management systems (LMS) at NC State. After obtaining feedback from our clients through a number of channels, including two fall 2007 LMS forums, we are currently supporting a small pilot of the Moodle open source LMS to understand the feasibility of open source as a strategic direction for NC State. We will continue our pilot testing throughout 2008, and we are actively partnering with other UNC systems schools that are exploring open source options at this time. Please be aware that NC State's implementation of Blackboard Vista, as well as our current implementation of WolfWare, will continue to remain supported as we investigate open source LMS solutions. Should our efforts using open source prove successful, and we make a decision to transition away from current LMS implementations, we will provide migration support for all users, as well as a reasonable transition timeline. Our current plan is to continue to provide training and support for Blackboard Vista and WolfWare through at least spring 2010. Faculty should continue to use the available NC State learning technology tools (e.g. Blackboard Vista, WolfWare, Elluminate, etc.) as we investigate other systems, with the knowledge that any future transition will be fully supported.

It's my understanding that they've been discussing this for a while. A shame most of you will be gone before they ever actively switch over to what they're looking at now.
