It is an LCMS as moodle is, but concentrates more on the creation side. We've also created a lot of free content for school subjects, covering mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, geography etc, as well as offering the first 3 chapters of VTC IT courses (about 12,000 screencasts). I'd be interested in constructive feedback so we can make the product better.

I found it to be the second-most important and helpful professional development activity in my nine years of teaching (just behind getting my masters degree). Hope yours is as wonderful. Will you be blogging about your learning as you go through? That would be interesting to follow. Best of luck in the SI, Nate.
