HowToMoodle: OSS Learning Platform Goes Pro
,----[ Quote ]
| Moodle is used for online learning on some 40,000 Web sites, but UK training
| managers have been slow to react. "They are used to proprietary software, but
| this is very often costly to adopt, with heavy license fees that can be
| expensive if large numbers of people are involved.
|
| [...]
|
| "Moodle has been like a lot of open source software, where development has
| been left to individual innovation and training.
|
| "We decided to introduce an element of professionalism into the business."
|
| "We are now training and supporting organizations all over the UK as the
| recognized center of Moodle support," Lawrence added.

| "In the LMS space, we have been hugely impressed with Moodle's offering.
| We embrace the open source spirit in which Moodle has been, and continues
| to be developed. We have provided customised Moodle installations for
| several of our clients, giving it a look and feel bespoke to their
| organisations. We would urge anyone considering a commercial LMS to
| give an open source option such as Moodle serious consideration first."
