Abstract

Abstract: This presentation will address the aspect of international collaboration in open source developers' communities. Specifically, we will discuss the community structure, underlying philosophy, and design model of Moodle - Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment. The significance of this project will be emphasized by comparing it with its major competitors: commercial distance learning portals such as WebCT™ and Blackboard™. This presentation is intended for instructional designers, distance education specialists, K-12 and college instructors who are interested in establishing and promoting international collaboration in their projects or courses.
