Evaluation of Open Source Learning Management Systems - 2005
About this Evaluation:
In 2005 the edutech group was repeatedly asked by members of the Swiss e-learning community to report on the quality of current open source (OS) e-learning management systems (LMS) or course management systems (CMS). Since our last evaluation in 2003, which considered only commercial products, many open source products have improved in quality and gained considerable acceptance in higher education organizations.

The main goals of this evaluation are to help higher education institutions choose an open source LMS that can be deployed at the institutional level (some Swiss higher education institutions do not yet have an officially supported and maintained LMS), to validate the LMS choice of those higher education institutions who do have an officially supported and maintained LMS at the institutional level, and
to find out which open source LMS are adequate to be deployed at a national level (professional central hosting for higher education institutions).
