Open Learning Management System (O-LMS)

http://www.psych.utah.edu/learn/olms/

New to me is this java-based open source ‘LMS’ from the Department of Psychology at the University of Utah. This system is designed to support “vigorous shared knowledge communities” and as such focuses very much on communication and collaboration tools and seems to recognize the role of shareable learning content though it is unclear to me what kind of actual functionality it offers there. One thing that seems slightly unfortunate is to base an open source project on Oracle and Solaris, but this may well have been what was literally at hand. – SWL
