We've built courses for the Online School for Girls using the Haiku LMS
and have been exceptionally pleased with their product and service.
Also, I know that Jason Curtis at Laurel School (also part of OSG) is
using Haiku within the Laurel environment. They are a hosted solution
that is inexpensive. More than 150 web 2.0 technologies can be embedded
into course pages.
Here is a little more about how we are using it at OSG:

And, here is a sample page developed in Haiku:

Subject: Re: Learning Management Systems - Moodle or Sakai?
Hi Vi,
We use Moodle here, and host it on an in-house Linux server. We've been
using it for three years, and hadn't had an LMS prior. As such, I can't
compare it to any other products, but I can say that our faculty and
students have found it to be reliable and reasonably easy to use.
Regards,
-JP
