History on the Move to Moodlerooms

 Why did we move to Moodlerooms?

Short answer: A move of some kind that involved change was imminent: the Blackboard company was not planning to continue support of our current version of the LMS, thus requiring additional training; our contract expired on June 30, 2012; moreover, Blackboard's high cost and poor support led to an investigation of other LMS options.
