In the case of Moodle it is fairly straight forward as it is OSS and should 'hard wire' in nicely. Proprietary systems such as WebCT (and FC) have historically been 'closed' platforms and as such are more problematic to integrate. However, hopefully it will be a case of change or become extinct for them! Yes, I see this point Shirley and will think about how to include this in the diagram.

University investment in these environments might mean that some of the data such as marks could be handled better from the administrative point of view. I had an interesting chat at Coventry University about Moodle vs WebCT. Issues raised were development time, interface with HE databases, another change for lecturers, internal politics. Just a thought. I like the way your concept is shaping up. Given the financial commitment of universities to Blackboard or WebCT, it might be expedient to consider where these relate to the scenario.
