The CETIS team offer us a rich menu of blogs to choose from. For example, Rowin Young’s blog offers us the insight below from his reading of the 2008 UCISA survey into Technology Enhanced Learning.
“The statistics for VLE use within institutions are of particular interest. In response to the question ‘what VLE, if any, is currently used in your institution?’, Moodle has a clear lead over second-placed BlackBoard; however, when looking at enterprise-wide adoptions Moodle is in a very poor third place behind BlackBoard and WebCT, suggesting that while community-based open source solutions effectively meet pedagogic needs at departmental level, institutional management may prefer the apparent security of lock-in to traditional vendor-and-client models.”
