[Moodle] Ultranet quick timeline of history

[Donald Hew]

Kevork & Moodlers

According to DEECD site <http://www.education.vic.gov.au/management/ultranet>, Ultranet started from 2004.

My own opinion is that Ultranet is designed from an administrative perspective and try to include Learning Management module. Whereas Moodle is designed from a Learning Management perspective and try to include any administrative modules. BTW, Web 2.0 is not just forum, blog and wiki...

Vermont SC can't sit still and wait for Ultranet (and any future "service packs" to make it stable and usable). So we have decided to use eWorkSpace (commercial web-based package) for administration and keep Moodle for classroom interaction.

Teaching VCE Software Development, I have learn to appreciate the good and bad parts of all systems. Nothing is perfect. So use whatever package to fulfil your requirements, as long as you are well informed of all possible scenarios at the time.

Subject: [Moodle] Ultranet quick timeline of history

 

Hi Folks,

 

 Since moodle and the ultranet are effectively trying to deliver the same
thing, I assumed this was the best list to post to. 

 I was wondering if anyone had a timeline of the ultranet history to date ?

I need to brief some colleagues on the timeline of the initiative from date of concept announcement, progress, tender, re-tender, how long we have been waiting and when we can expect to see it if we are not an ultranet coach or a select school.

Kind Regards
