We are currently experimenting with Moodle as an alternative to Blackboard (BB), which is, in my opinion as a former user, an expensive and developer unfriendly learning environment. We currently hold an $30K+ Enterprise license for that commercial system.
We do not expect a fast migration from our BB user base to Moodle, since much work has been done by them inside BB. However, new projects to train teachers online and to build a huge cyber community of educators are all been based on OSS like Moodle and Drupal. In that way, we will never be trapped by a software company and their budget depleting licensing schemes.
