Software Choices
I am in the position to guide our institution into online learning and am looking for suggestions for software and/or internet-based systems. I have loaded Moodle on my personal server, but am not sure if it has all the things described as far as modules and lessons. Could someone suggest a system, preferable open-source, that would accomplish the goals of this course while remaining accessible to a broad range of users/clients?
Thanks,
Mike Anderson
Gayle,
Yes, it can - and I've seen faculty use it as a supplement for on-ground classes.

I don't have an answer, but a question. Can Moodle be used on personal web sites? I teach where there is no official portal for students, so I have created one myself on my web page, mainly for uploading homework, viewing schedules etc.
Moodle looks like something I would like to try.
Tatyana,
Its a customized version of Moodle.

I thinks so - we use it at my institution, and I've worked with several others that are happy with it as well.

Hi:
I would like to know if Moodle is a suitable platform for the proprietary school's online course.
Micheal,
Great - there is lots of good Moodle documentation out there as well.

Thanks, the internal database system we are using for student info has a Moodle API port, just wanted to be sure before recommending purchasing it in addition to what we had before.
Mike,
Pretty broad question, but in my opinion if open source is part of your criteria set, then Moodle is the way to go. I use it at my current institution, and it provides a comparable feature-set to commercial LMS products.
Best,
Jon
