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