You right. This is the reason why the course materials are made platform-independent and a separate web site is launched for the course materials. I do not see big value to have the course about Digital Freedom hosted only in one (and non free) platform. I think the goal shall be to have materials available for as more platforms as it's possible. And it shall be easily installable. That's the reason I want to publish the course later in Common Cartridge format. Can't do it right now because the videos for last 2 weeks are not ready as well as quizes. Ideal distribution for me is to have kind of 1-click install for the course in Moodle and other LMSes. All the suggestion are welcome. As of now I am aware only about Common Cartridge format as a common denominator between different platforms. > To give an example of the risks to free and open platforms, Microsoft are > in > the process of sewing up the Norwegian higher education sector with their > Office 365 and related offerings, with all the inherent competition, > privacy > and control issues that will result.

Moodle, I guess? Anything else which I can make my course to be compatible with? -- WBR & WBW, Vitaly
