Open Source Software

Greater flexibility

E-Learning Systems

We support carefully selected open-source course management systems for those who wish to deliver their content without getting involved in the details of technical support.

We also provide opportunities for institutions to pilot modern course management systems without committing to a full implementation. The Longsight Group is currently working with Sakai and Moodle.

The Open Knowledge Initiative has created a great deal of interest in course management systems created for higher education by higher education. Members of The Longsight Group have been involved in OKI activities since October, 2001. We are supporting open source CMS products in several ways:
