The UW E-Learning System
task force has been charged with finding an e-learning system that could
serve all of our institutions. The task force has reviewed vendor proposals
and settled on four finalists: Blackboard, Inc., Desire2Learn, Granada
Learning Ltd., and WebCT. (For more information, see the October 2002
TTT article, "Preparing
for Change: UW and the Quest for an e-Learning System.")
