Free and Open Source System
Free and open source LMS is growing fast in the education and business world. Some ex- amples of free software and open source LMS are OLAT, ATutor, Bazaar, Moodle, Claro- line, and Dokeos. The Sakai Project founded by the University of Michigan, Indiana University, MIT, Stanford, the uPortal Consortium, and the Open Knowledge Initiative OKI is backed by several universities, and is available free under a BSD-like license. Most of them provide all or nearly all the LMS facilities as described before, though the user interface is not smooth in all cases for all tasks. Most open source LMSs are developed by individual or group of individuals, non-profit organizations, educational institutions, or special interest community. The community which surrounds a particular open source LMS is often the determining factor in its suc- cess. New or less popular open source LMSs might be distributed as is, leaving the users to fend for themselves. Popular LMSs however, such as Moodle, Claroline, and DokeosParts
