Moodle in High School Blended Learning Environment

Hi all,

I am looking to connect with someone who has implemented a Moodle LMS in a blended learning environment for high school students. I am working with a school who is looking at both Moodle and another proprietary solution. They really want to go with Moodle, but want feedback on the pros and cons from schools who are already using it. They plan to have Moodlerooms host, as self hosting isn't an option at this time. They want to have course templates for a 180 day school year, but allow teachers ability to easily modify if desired. How much work up front will this require in developing the courses?

Thanks in advance for any input you can share!

Kim
