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.<div><br></div><div>Pure speculation.</div><div><br></div><div>Adam Barbary</div><div>No fixed employer<br><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On 01/12/2008, at 12:59 PM, Roland Gesthuizen wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">No news .. details of the tender process are still sketchy.
