Re: Recommendations of LMS

   Hi Jonathan:
   Canvas and Moodle have open source licenses. Canvas is AGPL and Moodle
   is GPL.
   I have used Moodle with good results. Moodle is quite popular in
   Colombia.
   Cheers,
   Héctor

 Hi everyone,
 I'm still unsure about the topics of this list. I hope my question
 is
 valid.
 I'm a volunteer for a community process in a city of Colombia. We're
 promoting art, culture, technology and science. We've got some
 donated
 old computers and started to install them with Trisquel. That was
 pre-covid. Now, our activities are virtual and we're trying to use
 libre
 software as much as possible (Jitsi Meet for our meetings,
 BigBlueButton
 for our educational activities, a mailing list with sympa, Nextcloud
 for
 filesharing, and so on).
 We have teachers (volunteers as me) for guitar, dance, theather, a
 science club, and I proposed them we could use a learning management
 system like Moodle or Canvas. They are creating stuff like videos,
 images, etc. and I thought it would be a good idea to use a LMS for
 structure of a course.
 So, my question is: what LMS that respects freedom would you
 recommend?. I've worked in the past with Moodle and installed it for
 some schools and universities. I've seen Canvas LMS is very
 interesting
 too. Any recommendation?, or maybe, any trouble with these mentioned
 options?.
 Thanks in advance.
 And sorry for my english. As I mentioned, I'm a native spanish
 speaker.

As I have not tried none of them, I cannot recommend none, yet there
is the list of Learning Management Systems:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_learning_management_systems

Myself, when creating Learning Management System I would specifically
demand that computers users, learners, use a dedicated computer that
runs free operating system, and then I would prefer one local network
database, we can think of it as a school centralized database, and one
remote database for task assignments and collection of data.

Data from remote database would be transferred to centralized
database.

I would then mostly use Emacs and various free software tools for task
assignments and collection. For example LaTeX equations could be
prepared by using TeXmacs and submitted through Emacs, not necessarily
browsers.

There would be no exclusion of some possible tool that can help in
learning and no limitation to browser environment only.
