But it's what my university uses, and it is sucking up what I think are better platforms one by one. They just bought Angel, for example.<br /><br />But, in my understanding, it doesn't necessarily incorporate the best features of its acquisitions. It just shuts them down. I predict in 10 years or less it will go out of business. Moodle or some other freeware will drive it into the ground. And I will celebrate its funeral with prejudice.Ken Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745548537303356655noreply@blogger.com
