45 Minutes to a Moodle Education Server
This beginner article provides step-by-step instructions for installing Moodle, a Learning Management System, on to a Fedora Linux server. It provides the steps necessary to setup a full powered intranet web-server that can support course listings, event calendars, student/teacher communication and much more. Best of all, a prototype server can be functional within about 45 minutes.
For those unfamiliar with Moodle, let me briefly share why this tool now supercedes nearly all other learning management systems. 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. 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.
