| Setting up a Moodle education server |
May 30, 2006
This introductory article provides step-by-step instructions for installing Moodle, a Learning Management System, on a Fedora Linux server. The article provides everything necessary to setup a full-powered intranet web-server that can support course listings, event calendars, student/teacher communication, and more. A prototype server can be functional within about 45 minutes, according to the tutorial's author.
"For those unfamiliar with Moodle, let me briefly share why this tool now supercedes nearly all other learning management systems," tutorial author Mark Rais writes. "The Moodle project, started by Martin Dougiamas in 1999, has delivered a most capable and feature rich tool for schools and educators. Moodle, also termed a Course Management System, is a web content tool currently used in over 150 countries."
"The design and automated functions make installation and support almost too easy," continues Rais. "Since Moodle is a purely Open Source development project, licensed under the GPL, it is freely available for all organizations. More importantly, with a world-wide community and use in 70 languages, support and guidance are also readily available."
