[Moodle] Question: Ultranet and Moodle

[Adam Barbary]

Assuming MS gets the tender, I would gather that they will follow  
their usual strategy of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. The original  
tender for the Ultranet stated that the winning bid must leverage off  
what infrastructure the schools already had. My gut feeling is that it  
would be unlikely that Moodle would be a core technology, but whatever  
wins will be able to pull information from a Moodle server to ease  
implementation. Also, having done that, the winner could then say that  
it has had wide spread adoption, the proof being the amount of  
imported material.

Pure speculation.
