I will be writing my final thesis in Business Administration at the University of Cologne + MIT on dotLRN. The thesis is in a *very* early stage, but it will most probably be built around the comparison of features, business model, marketing approach etc. of dotLRN / Blackboard. I also persuaded my professor to write it in English, having in mind it being of future marketing value for dotLRN / oacs 😉
Additionally my professor wants me to research on a technologoy/service called UNIVERSAL which is financed by the EU... "UNIVERSAL is a world-class brokerage service linking educators and trainers for the exchange and distribution of Learning Resources."

Anyone heard of it?
Isn't dotLRN in use at the TU Wien? Albrecht?
Cheers
