Brent - I think we're on the cusp of moving away from FirstClass ourselves. It seems to many of us here that while FC doesn many things ok, it does not do any one thing particularly well, apart from it acting as a one-stop shop for faculty who like drag and drop. Despite its recent changes to it UI, it still feels clunky and old-fashioned compared to other systems. FC Ed might mitigate that with its cool templates and wizards, but the pricing for FC Ed is to out of line with reality that it is not a player for us. We are currently investigating where we want to go with course management, FC, FinalSite (our web provider), Blackboard, Moodle, Drupal.... All the usual tradeoffs between build it or buy it. We're probably a year or more away from actually moving to another system, and we will experience some resistance due to personal and institutional inertia. So I think we'll start small with some teachers using a different CMS, and more web-based content instead of FC content. Yeah-I know FC can make web pages, but....
