This is not intended as a definitive ranking but rather as a point of departure for those interested in investigating these systems and who are considering an open source courseware implementation." "Recommended Systems (only fully distributable systems are considered for these recommendations) Top 3 Systems in terms of Scalability and Development Flexibility 1. CHEF 2. LON-CAPA 3. Moodle Top 3 Systems in Terms of Pedagogical Flexibility 1. Moodle 2. LON-CAPA 3. fle3 """ (While it'd be nice to show up in the #1 slot at least once, you have to admit that's a pretty good showing overall out of 18 surveyed candidates.) "LON-CAPA at Michigan State LON-CAPA is a distributed open-source Learning Content Management and Assessment System that provides instructors with a common, scalable platform to assist in all aspects of teaching a course, from lecture preparation to administration of homework assignments and exams. It also enables instructors to create educational materials and to share such learning resources with colleagues across institutions in a simple and efficient manner. [from our website] LON-CARPA [sic] is long on functionality and support for extended character sets and computation, but it's a bit short on user friendliness. It is a robust system built for enterprise scalability and handles clustering well. This system is highly recommended as one of the most promising candidates for providing traditional course management functionality for large institutions. LON-CARPA is an active participant in the standards movement and provides strong documentation nd development support. S =5 O=5 A=4 I=3 F=4 E=3 Total = 24" On a five point scale (5 good, 1 bad), that's: Scalability - 5 Openness - 5 Administration - 4 Implementation - 3 Functionality - 4 Effectiveness - 3 Each criterion has a longer paragraph definition in the article, and IMHO the ratings are fair. ("Effectiveness", for instance, seems to translate closer to "User friendly" to the general faculty; just reading those words probably doesn't give the best idea of what they are grading.)
