Open source makes 'substantial advance' in UK education, says report

The report, undertaken by the JISC-funded OSS Watch service, also found that use of Moodle, the open source course management system or virtual learning environment (VLE), has grown to 56% of all colleges in less than three years. With the Open University’s decision to adopt Moodle as its future VLE, open source penetration in this high-profile deployment area marks a substantial advance.
