<p>There have been some good discussions on this list about resources and books to support an opensource suite of tools. Here is an interesting book review about Moodle. I am sourcing a copy for our school library and staff. :-)<br>

<blockquote><p>Moodle is a well-known and widely used online Course Management
System. It is based on Apache and PHP and is normally associated with a
MySQL database and GNU/Linux. The application has high market
penetration and recognition, especially for schools. However, no matter
how good a tool is, a poor teacher will only generate painful online
learning experience. Moodle Teaching Techniques published by Packt and
authored by William H. Rice IV focuses on best practices for
constructing learning solutions.</p><dl class="image"><dt><a href="http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/files/www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/nodes/2542/cover.jpg"><img src="http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/files/www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/nodes/2542/ss/cover.jpg" alt="The book's cover " title="The book's cover "></a></dt>
