Moodle - free, excellent built in tools for education (grading, submission, choices, surveys, wikis etc)
Blackboard - expensive, for-profit, anti-open source company ((but happy to build in access to open source
systems where it doesn't ooffer functionality e.g.), excellent built in tools for education 
eWorkspace - sounds good, don't know much about it, 
SharePoint - MS corporate ducument retreival and discussion host.  Few tools oriented specifically for
educational needs.

Suggest moodle is the best bet esp if its development pace continues.

At present, as we are with the CEO, we have been using SINA and My Classes plus a shared directory for student
files.  We are looking at changing to a more sophisticated intranet system.  We have heard of Moodle, E
Workspace, Sharepoint, Blackboard and Scholaris and are wondering what people are using and how they find it.
Please email me direct.  Thank You.
