SAU 33 is considering the deployment of a piece of software called Moodle. 

What is is Moodle?

   "Moodle is designed to help educators create online courses with opportunities for rich interaction. Its open source license and modular design means that people can develop additional functionality. Development is undertaken by a globally diffused network of commercial and non-commercial users, spearheaded by the Moodle company based in Perth, Western Australia." - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

     There are a number of OLE (online learning environments) out there, one appeal is that Moodle is Free.  However, just because a piece of software is free does not mean it should be deployed over "paid" software packages.  In the near future the Technology committee will be researching OLE software and will make a decision to either deploy this type of software and if so, which one.  Check back for updates on this project!
