The Obama administration is pushing for creating free online courses at the high school/community college level, focusing on basic skills and job training.

According to a meta-analysis by the US Department of Education, face-to-face courses are less effective than online and blended learning. They caution against viewing this as simply a matter of the medium though. It's the changes in what online and blended learning allow (like opportunities for collaboration) that are likely making the difference.

LMS pricing for low-cost systems for different sizes of implementations. I've seen complaints on the eLearning Guild discussion board that $50K for 100K users for Moodle was too high. Considering that the average price for that size is over a million dollars, $50K seems quite reasonable to me.
