This is very funny. If you've used Moodle and Blackboard, that is.

That's awesome! It sure sounds like this comes from a serious fight/controversy at Taylor about switching. Blackboard is what a lot of IDers are used to, but Moodle is easier to use and doesn't have the outrageous license fees. Isn't that the definition of a no-brainer?
I like how they "cite" the professors who presumably drove the LMS switch. I was going to say that if I was one of those professors I'd be enormously proud, but considering that I've got students working on things like Irish folk music, comics, and sex-work narratives, I'd actually say I'm prouder.
Sigh..... I didn't get around to viewing this video and now it "has been removed by the author" Anyone know another site where it is accessible? Has the evil blackboard silenced this voice??

Should work now. I found the link I had first posted; the audio in the one they took down was better. But it's all here. Catch it while you can.
In the meantime, I'll download a copy of the flash video in case this link goes 404, too.
It is VERY funny - I enjoyed viewing it - thank you for letting us know.
