Moodle - Produce/manage educational sites.


Moodle is a learning management system for producing web-based course sites. It is written in PHP and is easy to install and use on Mac OS X (as well as Windows, Unix, Linux, and Netware). It has been designed to support modern pedagogies based on social constructionist theory, and includes activity modules such as forums, resources, journals, quizzes, surveys, choices, and assignments. It has been translated into 30 languages, with more on the way. Moodle offers a free alternative to commercial software such as WebCT and Blackboard, and is being used by a growing number of universities, schools, and independent teachers for distance education or to supplement face-to-face teaching.
