Thanks for that Laurence... My understanding is that WSS, which is basic Sharepoint, is part of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and comes free with that. What costs money is Sharepoint Portal.

Has anyone had experience of going through the evaluation process of making this upgrade (with the obvious benefits to the students and the college of the latter) and also considering other Student portal options such as Microsoft Sharepoint. There are cost implications of maintenance in both options but I suspect that the Blackboard off-the-shelf approach is a less labour intensive option. Any ideas and suggestions would be welcome.
