FREE Learning Management System Download; a try that's more than a trial
FREE Learning Management System Download
Moodle http://moodle.org/I like it. I downloaded it and played with it. Its clean and visually BIG ( and I like the bubblegum colours!)The templates guide & invite good course & lesson design. All interactive capabilities you would look for including assignment uploading and timed tests are present. (I didn't make it 'go live' as I have no venue.)
Jones Standard.org http://www.jonesstandard.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=TheDemo&file=index
Play this demo and you will get your head around how LMS systems work and what they are for if you're not there already. Your school board likely has an LMS set up and if you're interested in knowing more about online ed., you should speak to the online school people.
An ultimate goal in public dayschool ed., it seems to me, is to go to an integrated model where teachers can put/get some units and lessons online, for some students some of the time, but still see students in class. Most boards aren't there yet; they give students a choice of classroom delivery OR online delivery. If YOU can find a host for a program like this, YOU can try it. Just trying it will blow a creative teacher's mind wide open!
(And don't forget your BEST I.T. 'department'; the kids in your class! Have THEM figure it out, set it up and teach you!)

A similar program I liked is at http://www.claroline.net/ though this one seems a bit less teacher centered. Very cool. And (of course) I agree with you that the future is for integrated models: but the one-size-fits-all image is too prevalent in education, isn't it?
