Why is COM moving to Moodle?
COM moved to Moodle 2.0 as our distance education learning management system (LMS) after our license with Blackboard expired at the end of June 2011. The DE Committee of the Academic Senate selected Moodle for its functionality and affordability. Moodle requires no purchase or annual license fee and is much more user friendly according to faculty and students who have used it. Many colleges have migrated to this system with positive results, so COM joins a large community of Moodle users.
