Dan,

You're not the first OETC member to ask for such a thing -- we've heard 
increasing requests over the last year.  And though we're occasionally 
slow on the uptake, we're acting on this one.

Beginning in mid-June, OETC will be rolling out hosted Moodle for our 
members.  A site with 150MB-200MB (we're still working out the 
parameters) will be free.  Upgrading to 1.5GB-2GB (again, TBD) will be 
no more than $120/year.

Members will get their own subdomain, be able to create their own 
look-and-feel, and generally have custody over their own installation of 
Moodle.

This wasn't necessarily when (or where) we were going to announce 
it...but you heard it here first. ;)
