Elearning With Moodle: Open Source Cross-Platform CMS

Moodle is a course management system (CMS) - a software package designed to help educators create quality online courses. Such e-learning systems are sometimes also called Learning Management Systems (LMS). One of the main advantages of Moodle over other systems is a strong grounding in social constructionist pedagogy. Moodle is also Open Source software, which means you are free to download it, use it, modify it and even distribute it. Moodle runs without modification on Unix, Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, Netware and any other system that supports PHP, including most webhost providers. Data is stored in a single database: MySQL and PostgreSQL are best supported, but it can also be used with Oracle, Access, Interbase, ODBC and many others. Moodle is available in 34 different languages.
