I've often wondered why course/learner management systems often break standards, compliance has many definitions, and are not accessible. It seems like the most popular systems tend to have the most problems and I wonder why people buy into them.
Perhaps it's because accessiblity is not a priority with those that are responsible for selecting these systems? Or, maybe it's because those people don't know how to judge the reality of vendor claims? What other factors cause people to select systems that have significant problems in these areas?
I've often yearned for some type of review site for these systems where people could share their experiences with different systems that could be used to verify, or dispute, vendor's generic claims of accessibility.
Does anyone know of any sites that offer the opportunity for that type of input?
