Project >Moodle learning platform
Moodle Learning Platform: 
Moodle is an internet-based platform to support courses e.g. in universities 
Concerning the learning platform for the “interaction stage” of the project, 
  the project consortium decided to use the open-source platform “moodle”. 
  
The decision is based on the following main reasons: 
  the platform is open-source software, i.e. there are no license costs
  there are a number of users already using the platform
  the platform is based on a standard database (mySQL), i.e. it is possible to install the platform at standard
 
  the platform is easy to use and to administrate (enrollment of participants, adaption of layout etc.)
  it offers very useful components in a modular way, such as
  a weekly course outline
  a forum with Email notification (depending on subscription)
  a group calendar
  wikis (supporting collaborative work on documents)
  chat
