We are hosting Moodle internally in our network. I had an intern help setup
Moodle over the Christmas break, and all she did was read the instructions
online.
The biggest issue we are facing is how faculty can use Moodle to enhance
their classroom instructions. This is something we are slowly learning as
we help faculty to start using Moodle. This is our first time utilizing an
online learning system.
I think if you explain the cost of Blackbaud and why you believe Moodle is
better for the school, I'm sure you will have faculty who are willing to
move to Moodle. I think that as long as you are able to help the faculty
understand Moodle and be there to support them in the transition, they will
be willing to do it themselves.
