[Moodle] Moodlle vs commercial products

[Philip Brown]

Because Moodle is free it's no great drama to download it and install it
along with a free web server like Easyphp and run it (play around with it)
on your laptop. Once you get past that stage implement (LAMP) it on a spare
school computer and run it internally. Like I said, it's free and allows you
plenty of scope to evaluate it. Why not visit us here at Wellington
Secondary College and see it running?

Hi list,

 

Please excuse the cross-postings.

 

We are using a commercial system called Masterfile at our school which has
generally been a pain in the proverbial.  I've tried convincing the IT
manager to change to Moodle but his main gripe appears to be about security.
Have you had an issues with security on Moodle?  What have other schools
experiences been with Moodle?  Is there a better commercial system that is
actually affordable (ie. not Blackboard).  Any feedback on this would be
greatly appreciated.
