[Posted May 24, 2005 by ris]
NewsForge covers
Moodle. "Distance education is becoming more important in
today's connected world. Universities and schools are supplementing
traditional classroom-based learning with electronic learning management
systems (LMS) -- software designed to deliver on-line education. You may
know such software by other names, such as managed learning environments,
virtual learning environments, or course management systems. Moodle is the
definitive open source learning management system. Like most LMSes, it make
extensive use of the Internet, with features such as discussion forums,
chats, journals, automated testing and grading tools, and student
tracking. Because it's open source, it's also broadly extensible by its
large user community."
