 \subsection{Commodization Phase}
+While in the initial phases of the project, system functionality will be combined from the existing systems (subsection~\ref{existing}) by the PIs, for the dissemination of 
+successful practices,
+it is mandatory to combine functionality into a coherent system which can readily be deployed in various institutional and classroom settings.

+As a derivative of the existing systems, the software will continue to be made available as open-source freeware. Generated content will be made available in the shared 
+LON-CAPA resource pool at the cross-institutional bottom layer of the system architecture.

+A spin-off company of the previous NSF ITR Project \#0085921, EduCog, LLC (http://www.educog.com/) will provide fee-based service, hosting, and training for institutions that are
