Beyond School

Ha!  I took a UCLA distance AP English Language and Composition workshop last summer that was excellent despite being on Blackboard.  My fantastic  professor, Carol Elsen, must have tired of my five weeks of bulleting board variations on this question:  “Why isn’t UCLA using Moodle?  It’s free, and so much better than the $50,000 Blackboard.”

Lo and behold, UCLA saw the light–”more expensive” does not mean “better” in the Open Source age: they’re adopting Moodle school-wide.  Thanks to Mark Wagner at Educational Technology and Life for the news.
