It seems that Scott Leslie came across a post on the Moodle discussion board (use guest login) that indicates that Athabasca University will soon be doing a fullscale switch to Moodle from the three CMS’s currently used at the institution. If so, (in agreement with Scott) I see this as a signal for other Universities to see that open source software is a real alternative to existing proprietary software packages. Leading innovative institutions will continue to switch to open source software once there is a clear realization that good software does NOT have to be purchased, and that decisions around software are best made in rooms without salespeople.
