"The team involved in development of KEWL.NextGen includes professional software engineers, computer scientists and computer science students, information systems researchers and their students, education researchers, instructional designers, scientists, and a project manager who helps hold the project together. Some of the specialities represented include human-computer interaction, instructional design research," so, no actual teachers, then? As Oli pointed out, KEWL itself runs on MS platform stuff, with .NextGen being a port and rewrite to LAMP: do you know if they're going to carry on development of KEWL, or is all the development effort moving over to the LAMP platform now? I'll admit to a certain partiality, but I think we'd need a pretty good reason to switch from Moodle, which is pretty much the standard for an open source VLE, and increasingly competing with the commercial alternatives, certainly in the UK FE/HE sector. I'd be very surprised if KNG overtakes it in the next three months! I'd be interested to hear why Derek Keats thinks it so much better. Moodle's integration with LAMS may also be worth taking into account (see http://lamsfoundation.org/integration/moodle/). If you want to e-mail me with the log in credentials, I'll have a proper look, and try to keep an open mind. - -- Miles Berry Deputy Head St Ives School Haslemere www.stiveshaslemere.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (MingW32) iD8DBQFC1o8ur4l0LSzscoQRApcqAKCsL/7sd1utS4TUapcES5QoF+X4JwCgrDIt cxcryRZYKEAyMF3JMueVydc= =Hx/q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- edubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel
