I know what you mean, I was pointing out all the large universities using WordPress as a VLE and it's a great way to engage with students and staff. I am also referring to WordPress.org self hosted sites, not the standard WordPress.com blog. With WordPress you can recreate any website platform available on the web and it's the third most used web service in the world above Twitter. It's been massively underestimated on this thread.

Coming here for advice seems to have been a bad move. Install the BuddyPress plugin and you have all the features of a VLE almost instantly.
