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
yes very much true -- and many more things will be added in coming version i believe -- which will be very important while colloborative authoring

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.

Ask me if you have any doubts using SELF -- i am here to help you
and there is a dedicated team of developers who are also very supportive -- and ofcourse mailing list is there --also if you feel any time you need a feature -- u can request the team... I have used SELF and ofcourse i have authored collaboratively and the version management is excellent.

First, I am quite familiar with SELF.
and there is a dedicated team of developers who are also very supportive -- and ofcourse mailing list is there --also if you feel any time you need a feature -- u can request the team... I have used SELF and ofcourse i have authored collaboratively and the version management is excellent.
I am a 100% Free software person but when I introduce any software to the
educational institutions I visit I am asked whether it is supported. Support is very important. I cannot tell them to go and ask their doubts on a mailing list. Our idea is to also build a good supporting group for all Free software. Only then will the Movement also get strengthened further. Now assume that we plan to teach Content Mgt. System in 10 colleges in the next 6 months and they need support. What will you do?
