Re: Learning Management Systems - Moodle or Sakai?

My comments echo Jonathan's, as Key has had the same set up for the same am=
ount of time.

I will say that while Moodle supports running on IIS and Microsoft SQL Serv=
er, it performs much better under Apache + MySQL, which can both be run on =
Windows if that's more comfortable for your IT staff.

Hi Vi,

We use Moodle here, and host it on an in-house Linux server. We've =20
been using it for three years, and hadn't had an LMS prior. As such, =20
I can't compare it to any other products, but I can say that our =20
faculty and students have found it to be reliable and reasonably easy =20
to use.

Regards,
