We were satisified with ANGEL and after a review in 2008/2009 had planned to stay with it.

In Fall 08 we will begin a full LMS review therefore the license will allow one year for the review and one year for migration should we move to a new product. If we need additional time for a migration we will contract with WebCT on an annual basis.

University of Western OntarioKim HollandWebCT Vista8.0.1Linux application tier Solaris database Oracle2500SatisfiedUnsureHave some concerns about maintenance of the Vista/CE product lines with the upcoming release of Blackboard's Next Generation product. Many bugs and enhancement requests are being targeted for NG, unfortunately NG is missing a good deal of the functionality that we use in Vista. Said functionality is apparently coming in a later release of NG - but until that point we are left with bugs and enhancement requests that are targeted for a release that we cannot use.
