Newsforge published today (2005.05.24) an article named: *Moodle: An
open source learning management system*
From that article:
"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.
