<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Moodle (www.moodle.org) is a course management system (CMS)
- a free, Open Source software package designed using sound
pedagogical principles, to help educators create effective
online learning communities. You can download and use it
on any computer you have handy (including webhosts), yet it
can scale from a single-teacher site to a 50,000-student University.
Dan Carrere has worked with Linux and other Open Source Software
for many years. He has also taught and worked at several
post secondary institutions. He is currently working at
Lane Community College where he has been active in building
a Moodle site.
