ITEMS project

The project consortium decided to use the open-source platform “moodle”. The decision is based on the following main reasons:

• the platform is open-source software, i.e. there are no license costs
• there are a number of users already using the platform
• the platform is based on a standard database (mySQL), i.e. it is possible to install the platform at standard
• the platform is easy to use and to administrate (enrollment of participants, adaption of layout etc.)
• it offers very useful components in a modular way (forums, chat, quiz,…)

The ITEMS project Moodle main page is located at http://itemspro.net/moodle/.

Each partner has a national Moodle page where the project materials are shown in the national language
