WebCT http://homebrew1.cs.ubc.ca/webct/ is a good popular and simple authoring and course management system delivering nice integrated course pages.
Educause IMS http://www.imsproject.org (Instructional Management System) is industry-education consortium setting standards and delivering reference implementations without good synchronous capabilities. No real products.
Blackboard.com http://www.blackboard.com gives free authoring and course management to university professors (also has commercial services). Blackboard.net has contract to test IMS draft standards.
