Moodle
From WikEd
Moodle is an open-source course management system we use here at CTER. Moodle was designed from a Social Constructivist perspective.
Not only is Moodle extremely powerful and flexible, its low cost (free!) and modest server requirements make it possible for our students to directly transfer the skills they learn in our program directly into their own classrooms.
I'm going to be examining some Moodle research questions over the course of this semester.
