The hardest thing is to sell into educational organisations. They aren't exactly the mosyt forward looking. WebCT has some inertia you would need to displace.
The only way to do so is to get a leading university to use the product first and you could leverage sales of that hence peeling away the webCT monopoly. The software side seems pretty easy though. I have no doubt you couldn't make a better product.
Perhaps the reason that there is no innovation in this market is a function of the inertia of these customers and the lack of financial incentive to build something better.
