LMS: Moodle LaunchConsider the following:

Faculty- initial and support Training neededTime needed to learn system tools and content delivery.Student- ability to have threaded discussions, share data, engage in discussionCost-utilizing tools that benefits student needsBenefits should outweigh cost as a means of prioritizing software inclusivityTechnology- Accessibility of technology tools Easy access to technology tools, prioritize tools based on learning outcomes

There are several things to consider prior to launching Moodle such as:

This Open source LMS is very unique in that it has a "each one teach one" support mechanism, and good citizenship is encouraged.*

Potential Hidden CostsReference: (2008). Moodle: A Low-Cost Solution for Successful e-Learning. 360Report on Learning Management Systems retrieved from http://www.learningsolutionsmag.com/articles/71/moodle-a-low-cost-solution-for-successful-e-learning

LOW: Under $10,000Average: $16.99 per person, 18 total peopleMedian: $5.83 per person, 18 total people

Because cost is relative there are several things to consider that would have associated costs accrued as a result of this free open source management system such as Number of users, our expectations is 200 plus numbers which can be easily adjusted up or down based on our needs.

Per the chart shown above an estimated 64.8% of users were able to acquire, implement, and customize the LMS at under $10,000.

On average the cost per learner can be approximately $16.77. Again, please keep in mind this can be adjusted up or down depending student needs.

The median cost would be more around $5.83, which again these are based on findings by the above referenced sourceOn the low end the cost incurred could be as little as .51 lower than the competitor.

Security, Permissions and Access Analysis

Four themes were of primary importance to members of the Moodle Security and Privacy community, as two-thirds of their security related threads addressed these four topics: Authentication, Permissions, Attacks, Moodle configuration (Schultz, 2012, p. 369).
