I agree with Bill. WebCT and Blackboard work ok if you have a) lots of training staff, b) actually got time to learn to use them (the manuals are HUGE), c) the money to support them. Moodle does most of what we needed and we just got sick and tired of Blackboard's staff and inflexibility (not to mention the thousands of dollars a year). Moodle isn't without it's problems but they can be dealt with and as Bill said- the price IS right! Tim

I've used WebCT for online courses and have learned (often the hard way) how to make it work. It is an expensive platform that most small places can no longer afford. I don't know Blackboard at all. My current pick for online courses and course web pages (which sounds like what you want to do) is a free and open source system called Moodle http://moodle.org/. It is fairly easy to learn and the price is right.

I am not very familiar with either. Let me know your thoughts. Cheers!
