Thanks for your instructing answer, Lukasz. It did not occur to me, that using org-mode instead of moodle could be a solution, but it may actually be the best solution. Moodle-Hosting is quite expensive anyway, seems to use many ressources. So I have to think about a way how to publish org-mode online courses into a - say scala/lift project -, because I would like to have user management, authentication, paypal and credit-card services for free (thats what Lift offers, i.e.). Or does almigthy org-mode delivers that too? ;-) A main disadvantage would be that one can't get started other course-authors as fast on org-mode as on moodle/exelearning.
I think moodle is a school with courses, and org-mode should be definitely better for writing online courses, but I need the school too for all the administration stuff, and I don't want to program that. Maybe Lift or Django can be used, and the result is much more flexible than moodle. I have to try the SCORM package instructions - thanks a lot Cheers Thorsten 2010/10/21 Łukasz Stelmach <lukasz.stelm...@iem.pw.edu.pl> > Gruenderteam Berlin <gruenderteam.ber...@googlemail.com> writes: > > > Hello, > > beeing still in the process of learning the amazing org-mode, > > This never ends ;-) > > > I wonder if somebody has tried to use org-mode's publishing capacities > > as an authoring tool for the Online Learning Platform Moodle > > We had tried to use moodle at our division before I learnt about > org-mode, and frankly speaking I didn't like moodle that much.
