A6: Open source products were considered very seriously in the review process. The ‘long’ shortlist included a number of open source systems (Illias, .lrn, ATutor, Moodle, and Sakai), and Moodle was on the final shortlist. Sakai was also considered in detail. Illias, .lrn and ATutor were ruled out in the first round of evaluation due to a lack of functionality required. For both Moodle and Sakai, the detailed evaluation revealed that whilst they have much potential, they do not currently live up to QUT’s requirements with regards to the functionality they provide, and their track record as enterprise wide systems.
