Did I a lot of Student Management work in CF to integrate into Blackboard and curriculum integration. It's was overly expensive. Prometheus was pretty cool when we had the opportunity to use it. Had no idea it was CF though. I didn't touch back when 4.5 was around. We had it pitched to us later.
Local University and Education Services Centers all switched from Blackboard to Moodle and never looked back. Blackboard charged something upwards of $40k/year just for the servers. It was redonkulous. Matt -----Original Message----- From: Dave Watts [mailto:dwa...@figleaf.com] Sent: Friday, April 26, 2013 10:10 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: (ot) Online Learning Platforms > Funny.

What a waste. I remember Prometheus. I worked with some of the people who built that. Blackboard bought everyone in that space, though. We used to have quite a few customers on WebCT and other LMSs and they were purchased and dismantled one-by-one.
