Thanks for the post and for putting the images together. Great stuff.

I would just say that, as I work for a central IT Department, it has been my experience at several universities that it is not IT departments that buy monolithic VLEs "as evidence that they 'offer online learning'". In fact these decisions are almost always made by central university academic development groups who then blame IT Departments when adoption rates are poor.
