I realize I did not send this to the list. Rob Echlin made same recommendation, but
possibly my knowing the authors add a bit of extra weight.

What about Moodle.? Open Source, 40,000 sites, and I know the developers (in Perth
Australia). Note that Moodle runs the Open U in UK (>200,000 students)

It looks like Articulate is pushing the "presentation". I think Moodle pushes the
operation of courses more. They wanted to use my etutor homework submission and management
as a plugin -- said it was a cleaner interface for the student -- but I really was getting
out of the field of e-education and didn't want to do development of php stuff. This was
early 2008.
