Has anyone come across this VLE. I was just sent the following email.

Dear New UCISA Friends,

It was a pleasure to meet many of you the other week in Blackpool. We learned a great deal from our conversations and came away with a few major themes ringing loud:

1. You are spending way too much money on hardware in order to run your existing WebCT or Blackboard solutions.

2. You are concerned that the Blackboard/WebCT merger threatens the competitive spirit of the VLE market.

3. You are open to a solution like Ping Pong that affords you the same VLE functionality at a fraction of the total cost of ownership that you pay today.

Case in point regarding the over-expenditure that you are forced to make with Blackboard or WebCT: we heard one amazing example in which over £200,000 of hardware was necessary to run a solution that would have only required an £8,000 hardware investment in conjunction with using Ping Pong!
Importantly, there is a way to save money while delivering an even better VLE service to your stakeholders. There is a viable alternative to WebCT and Blackboard.

Ping Pong will perform a road show throughout the UK in April and we would be happy to pay a visit to your university to tell you why this Scandinavian product can change the way you approach your VLE initiative. Please let us know if you are interested in booking time with us.

With kind regards,

Richard, Michel, Agneta, and Jeff
