On the issue of costs (and indeed license agreements) of VLE products CHEST
are currently working on pinning down some of these issues. (They have an
agreement already with Blackboard but there are likely to be more agreements
later) They intend to publish their costings comparisons etc to co-incide
with the Interoperability Pilots reporting in early 2002. It would be
worthwhile waiting for this I suspect in many cases.

We have found it very difficult to pin these same people down and also to
pin them to costs. This has not endeared them to us. I'd be interested to
know others' thoughts. Are we not all in the same boat with a similar 4 or 5
short list. We could decide it on this list?! Granada learnwise have been
very helpful.

Does anyone have an email contact for Blackboard and Fretwell Downing?
Both of their web sites assume that enquirers wish to complete a standard
form. I don't - I want to send them a functional specification
questionnaire for them to complele and return. This will be the second
stage of our selection process (the first stage was coming up with 5 MLE
providers from the many discussed on this list and on lists elsewhere!)
Many thanks
