Interestingly, I've had a family friend starting out as a teacher say that she can't find a good, intuitive gradebook. Maybe there's a market for that as well. I think it's fair to guess that this kind of software is made for buyers, not teachers, and may not address their needs very well. I could be totally wrong.

No, you're spot on. She hates working with iNow, and we have yet to talk to a teacher who likes working with it. Seems safe to assume that the buyer was someone who will never have to use it.

Seems to me like there's a pretty big, unserved market of teachers who want good and intuitive course management tools. Maybe they're so ignored and frustrated that they'd be willing to pay for such a tool that doesn't completely suck.
