There are more and more of these lists floating around. I keep this one just as a matter of housekeeping on the Edutools project, as at some point we will review most if not all of these, and just thought it might be of interest. The list also includes the license types, countries of origins and some additional notes.
On that front, the totals of nations originating open source course management projects might be interesting:
Country of Origin | Number of Projects |
Australia | 1 |
Austria | 2 |
Belgium | 1 |
Canada | 4 |
European Union | 1 |
Finland | 2 |
France | 2 |
Germany | 5 |
Italy | 1 |
New Zealand | 1 |
Russia | 1 |
South Africa | 1 |
Sweden | 1 |
U.K. | 1 |
U.S. | 17 |
U.S./Germany | 1 |
Total | 42 |
I would also point people the the following sites as being particularly useful for finding other examples:
