I'm on a roll now

So this university uses Blackboard. I can't begin to imagine how many millions of dollars they've spent on installing and maintaining this system, but I know that it's built on the same IT technologies like SAP and PeopleSoft that large corporations spend millions on, too. One instructional designer I know says it's because eLearning was created by the defense department to train fighter pilots and such. Small community colleges and inner-city schools can't afford this bloatware. There are great open source packages like Joomla and Drupal that can be used to build similar sites for next to nothing. It's no wonder large corporations are collapsing under their own weight.
