I'm impressed with the adoption of moodle in education though - pretty good traction. The good thing about tools and platforms is they keep improving over time. <br /><br />As to portals, LMS... the real challenge isn't often the tool, it's the people practice change. That's a lengthy journey hey.<br /><br />Thanks to you both for dropping by and sharing what you're doing for portals.Brian Kuhnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565982072371979984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668205114513391831.post-21674148003503847632010-01-27T08:40:29.524-08:002010-01-27T08:40:29.524-08:00We've been using moodle for several years now....We've been using moodle for several years now. I would suggest it as you can tie into Active Directory for accounts. Makes it very simple for teachers to build courses from a simple webpage to full out LMS. Using it heavily with our DL school as well and all grade 10 and 12 students have mandatory courses with it. And it's free, which is excellent in a cash strapped IT time. The cost should be the last consideration when planning I think, but since it would pass any other test, and comes in at $0 it is a clear choice.jbellsd60https://www.blogger.com/profile/02098306683352469992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668205114513391831.post-25989495139974335962010-01-26T11:09:06.571-08:002010-01-26T11:09:06.571-08:00We use Moodle to provide a place for students to h...We use Moodle to provide a place for students to have a school based social network with a lot of the features of external systems in one place. I agree that the more the internal system can take info and connect with external systems, the better.Colin Mathesonhttp://www.cytochromec.net/blognoreply@blogger.com
