Learning management systems
LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSYou have to pay for most of them, but some ones (of course, the less functional ones) are free.
The ones we are going to work on today are:
- blackboard:
http://coursesites.blackboard.com/webapps/portal/frameset.jsp
This one is not free. It costs 495 dollars a year, but there is not too much space for this price. You would have to pay more for a whole school.
You can put announcements, calendar, tasks, forums (there are threaded discussions, where students answer to each other), links, chats...
You don't need an administrator. It comes likes this on the Internet. You simply use the control panel and it is very easy.
- sakai:
It is an open source. You need an administrator, a technician. This is the one used at the university of Limerick.
It is very similar to the one above. Students have access to any course they are involved in.
- nicenet:
It is free and you don't need a technitian. It has been used for years. I think the teacher is recommending us to use it although moodle seems much better. In this one you cannot add exercises online, just texts...

I think I was maria jose fuster and then, maria.
We can have different classes.
- nuvvo:
It is free as long as you only use 10 MG (10 members in the class). You have to pay about 10 dollars a month if you have 20 students...
- moodle:
Free once you have got the technology to use it.
CHATTING IS GOOD FOR STUDENTS TO PRACTICE THE USE OF THE INFORMAL LANGUAGE.
