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.
Moodle is a free software e-learning platform (also known as a Course Management System (CMS), or Learning Management Systems (LMS), or Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)). It has a significant user base with 25,281 registered sites with 10,405,167 users in 1,023,914 courses (as of May 13, 2007) [1]. Amazon.com uses it to train employees.

Moodle is because it provides a full variety content of activities that teachers can add to a course.

Another reason to recommend Moodle is because of its philosophical foundations. Moodle is designed with a social constructionist philosophy, a belief that people actively construct new knowledge as they interact with their environment, and that learning is more effective when you're constructing something that others experience.

Moodle can also function as a tuition collection system. Moodle managers can set a standard price for an entire curriculum and for individual courses. Schools can decide on an enrollment system that includes tuition collection using authorize.net or PayPal.
