Desire2Learn Community
Linda's post included references to what the Sakai community was saying about Sakai. This got me thinking, "what is the Desire2Learn Community saying or doing?"
The sense that I get from the Desire2Learn(D2L) community is that there are many opportunities for the community to come together for sharing, learning and "drawing the roadmap of future releases"
The sharing and learning has been pretty standard as most LMS have provided user conferences but the helping of developing the roadmap of the products seems to have a different feel than the suggest a feature/improvement that WebCT "offers" us.
The language that the web site uses to explain there products, services and philosophy communicate a commitment to education and users.
The lawsuit with Blackboard is still a major concern.
