Carroll Tech moving to the Moodle Learning Management System
by Carroll Tech - Wednesday, 22 September 2010, 11:58 PM
 

The Carroll Center's Distance Learning program will soon be moving all of its users and course content from the custom built software it developed more than 6 years ago to the widely used and open source Moodle Learning Management System. Over the next few months, new courses and old will become available on our new Moodle Site, currently available at http://moodle.carrolltech.org. This move will allow users to learn and participate in an online learning environment rich with new interactive features. We hope you enjoy the new system. You can find out more about Moodle by visiting them online or reading the Moodle entry in Wikipedia.

Carroll Tech maintains a firm commitment to content accessibility and an enjoyable user experience for all of its students, regardless of ability. We hope to make continued improvements to our new Moodle web site over time and look forward to hearing your feedback. Please submit all questions and/or suggestions for improvement to webmaster@carroll.org.
