While I was at university, they installed a system called It's learning. It gave you basically a forum per class and a way of handing in assignments. It was basic, but broken in many ways (like a rich text editor that only worked on IE - meaning I couldn't actually send messages from my Mac; in 2006), and everyone agreed that the only thing it had over the custom system that came before was looks. I think for a long while part of the old system even had to be embedded, because It's learning didn't provide all the features. What it did have, though, was a lot of nice videos presenting it. This was extremely high tech at the time, and quite likely to woo the people buying it... maybe they felt they didn't even have to try it, because they'd seen video demos. AFAIK it's been replaced twice in 15 years. So yeah.
