I think if they market the studeous idea properly, alot of money can be made off it. Using a PR building tool like MyPRGenie (www.myprgenie.com/technology/) will help greatly to connect directly to a wider and more interested customer base.

What's great about Studeous is that its free, easy to set up, and easy to use. Also, schools won't have to worry about downloading and hosting the system themselves, which costs money to do so (for labor and equipment) even if it is open source. I agree with Vic.

However, they are still expensive to set up and maintain and they are not as easy to use as Studeous. Average teachers can get their classes set up on Studeous in a few minutes, whereas most teachers have no idea where to start with Sakai or Moodle (you're probably the exception). Studeous also targets k-12 more than higher ed, and we plan to roll out with a package that lets administrators get the admin controls for their school, allowing Studeous to completely replace any enterprise system for free. And we're not expecting schools to switch from their current systems; we're hoping that schools looking to have a system like this that don't have one now will choose Studeous.

It's more a replacement for Blackboard and meant to be hosted by individual institutions but it is a lot more powerful and broad than Studeous. Indiana University has been running a Sakai implemention called OnCourse since 2005. Don’t forget the Sakai project (http://sakaiproject.org) which is not only free but also open source.

I wonder if there are electronic boards that mirror contents to web. Once the data is online it can be easily transformed to RSS feed. I *so* wish Blackboard had RSS.

I *so* wish Blackboard had RSS. You have to go in and manually check that none of the classes have assigned homework. Ugh. How does it compare to Moodle?
