On the test site, when you click on the section 508 check link at the bottom, why does it say:

• Rule: 1.1.1 - All IMG elements are required to contain either the alt or the longdesc attribute.

  • No IMG elements found in document body.

• Rule: 1.1.2 - All INPUT elements are required to contain the alt attribute or use a LABEL.

  • No INPUT Elements found within document

When there are cleary both input and img tags on the page?

If you go to the main page and enter any other moodle site you get a great deal more information

Ah, neat! Should be interesting data.

I cut and pasted the code they provide into the site description field of our cvs-head test server. I think it looks quite cute and would make a nice block project for those with a global audience.

The latest Monthly Report from the Observatory on Borderless Higher Education has several positive mentions of Moodle.

Open Source at the Core of a National eLearning Strategy:Analysis of Developments in New Zealand by Dr. Ken Udas, Director of e-Learning at the Open Polytechnic of New Zealand.

abstract

Open source software (OSS) is increasingly becoming an important part of New Zealand's tertiary education sector. This report discusses the role of open source software as the organising principle behind New Zealand's national e-learning strategy. The report provides an overview of government e-learning policy and open source initiatives currently underway in New Zealand, followed by possible future scenarios for open source in the tertiary sector. The author aims to provide an accessible pathway for senior academic managers and policymakers to understand open source software and open source community as an enabler of particular national education goals, and to open up a debate about the future added-value potential of open source in higher education.
