Virtual Learning Environments and Moodle

Spent a bit of time today reading about Large scale deployment of Moodle, only to find this rather interesting article on how Dublin City University are reviewing their Virtual Learning Environments....

The article talks about how they intend to move from a proprietary software environment like WebCT, opting instead for something more long term, such as something written by the open source community.

At Ultralab we are currently reviewing the online community tools for the Ultraversity project.

...I've also learnt how much I loath the term 'Virtual Learning Environment' (VLE) - I prefer something much more British like... 'Online Learning Community space'

Very interesting Jonathan. This should give any organisation that chose to use Moodle a fair degree of confidnce in their choice from a technoloogical perspective.
