This. attitude. is. the. problem. Why don't you sit down and watch a student deal with this crap for a couple of hours? Anthropologically, empathetically, observe.
> Does your software do these things better?
Our motto was to make med school easier one less click at a time. Do that. Focus on that. All the time. And you'll find what you want, even if you have to hire people to write it. IF you have to hire people, make them hand code the solution for your population from scratch. It's cheaper and better than trying to wrap their heads around the steaming pile of crap that any existing LMS is.
It's not hard. An ical script, a document importer, a quiz module, connect the three with a database. Add LDAP functions so you can interact with the university's authentication system. The database can poop your grade book on demand. If you want a script to do that, I'm sure there are some abused 4th graders who could put it together for you#. A few med students hammered that out over a Christmas break and some 20% time. The rest is just trash.
