The <span>OpenAcademic<\/span> project launch was <a href=\"http:\/\/openacademic.org\/news\/?p=10\">announced today<\/a> with the goal of integrating <a href=\"http:\/\/elgg.net\/\"><span>Elgg<\/span><\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/drupal.org\/\"><span>Drupal<\/span><\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/moodle.org\/\"><span>Moodle<\/span><\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediawiki.org\/wiki\/MediaWiki\"><span>Mediawiki<\/span><\/a> into a new open source <span>online<\/span> learning environment.  The goal is to provide a broad offering of tools to support both informal learning <span>options<\/span> (e-portfolios and personal workspaces), as well as formal <span>online<\/span> course sites.  As the project is just in the early development stage, we will have to wait to see a demo.  However, the project&#39;s goal is to offer OpenAcademic for download and installation free of charge as an open source project. <\/p>\n<p> <!-- technorati tags begin --><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 10px; text-align: right\">technorati tags:<a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/drupal\">drupal<\/a>, <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/elgg\">elgg<\/a>, <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/moodle\">moodle<\/a>, <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/OpenAcademic\">OpenAcademicBlogged<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- technorati tags end --><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right; font-size: 8px\"> with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flock.com\" target=\"_new\" title=\"Flock\">Flock<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ok.
