[TriLUG] Free software in education

[Rob Rousseau]

Jack,
    Can you forward this e-mail to the PLUG?
    Moodle and Sakai come to my mind as an open source replacement to
Blackboard in the Education circles.
Here is a list of who is using what so far:

    MCNC (which operates the high-speed network for the NC education
system, NCREN - North Carolina Research and Education Network) was
hosting a Learning Management System Focus group.  Information is
here:

Other work groups are here:

Thanks,
-Rob
