Oregonians have an independent streak. It's been that way since pioneers voted to make the state part of the union more than 150 years ago. Even the state's motto, "She flies with her own wings," gives outsiders a hint that Oregonians like to do things their way. It comes as no surprise, then, to learn that when Oregon's government put in place an enterprisewide learning management system nearly three years ago, each of its 100 agencies wanted to run things independently.
