I don't think there are any. Vendors might be willing to say how many
licences/seats they sold, but that would give a far larger figure than
staff and students actually using their VLE. In general, in most colleges
using VLEs, they are with relatively small numbers. However, this is
changing, and certainly some colleges are using them with larger numbers of
students now - see, for example, Cathy Ellis' email of earlier today, where
she apparently has over 900 students using it.
I think the big challenge for colleges is moving from discrete, small,
pilot projects to mainstreaming the VLE use across the curriculum.
