One clear advantage of Moodle over SELF is that Moodle is supported. There are people who know how to install it, use it and also train others.

hi,
was trying to checkout moodle and SELF. thought it will be good to share the info.. correct me if i am wrong..

from : http://foss.in/2007/register/slides/SELF_Platform_350.pdf
SELF : These materials are *organised in a complex hierarchical* * **way* : where one course module can be used by another course. this might not be possible with moodle.
COURSE Orgn has : object orientation , ● agent orientation , ● distributed, ● standard complaint ( FOL based ), representation, ● version control system for data as well as metadata - this might not be possible with moodle again
nurture freedom : each resource is a software agent specially crafted to nurture and propagate the virtues of freedom - basically it will shout !@@#@ if .doc is used i guess
to summarise i think this is the main difference in SELF:
- collection, harvesting, atomizing of resources
- organization and networking to create courses distribution of courses
in open standards
