This is a strange post! No school has used the vle for free over the last three years. VLEs all over the country have been purchased by LAs using granTs from government. Some LAs gave the money directly to school and others chose the power of aggregated purchase and went used a tender process. Therefore the vle was bought on your behalf with your money. Strange you called it a loss leader. Uniservity was not cheap, but from what I know was cheaper than companies such as Fronter and RM. LAs were only allowed to put the tender to companies that provide many, many safeguards, resources, backing and data protection. They had to be Becta approved vles, moodle was not approved and doesn't have the safeguards that many schools should insist on. The new uniservity platform called Life looks good and simple to use. It looks more widget based and staff should get used to it far quicker than the present version.
