Webct6 and Moodle

There is now a comparision at Edutools between webct6 and moodle 1.5. Maybe it has been there a while but I have only just seen it.

The decsion tools looks interesting. You identify a series of criteria, weight them, score the 2 products on a scale and it will give you a “decision”. You need to be pretty familiar with the products to do it properly but as it will allow you at add your own criteria, we may be able to adapt itas part of our evaluation.

Open source PowerLinks for WebCT

Looks like WebCT will support wiki and RSS integration, but only if you have the “WebCT Vista PowerLinks Kit for software development”. I’m assuming you only need this PowerLink kit if you need to customise a PowerLink (which you wouldn’t do with Wimba, but might with something open source).

From the latest WebCT newsletter:
“Open Source PowerLinks from the WebCT Vista Developers Network

Are you looking for ways to integrate and extend WebCT? Recently, several open source PowerLinks created by the WebCT Vista Developers Network were made available through the WebCT PowerLinks Showcase:

With the Gutenberg Book Search PowerLink, instructors and designers can create custom searches on the Gutenberg collection that students can run with a single mouse-click from their WebCT courses.
The Mobile WebCT PowerLink lets students and instructors read their WebCT mail from their mobile phones.
With the OSPI Integration PowerLink, institutions can enable single sign-on from WebCT to the OSPI e-portfolio, providing users with easy one-click access to their e-portfolio content.
The PhpWiki Integration PowerLink provides students in a WebCT with course seamless access to PhpWiki via a proxy tool from the WebCT Course Menu.
The RSS Feed Integration PowerLink provides the capability to fetch RSS feeds from any Web site supporting RSS service from within a WebCT course.

WebCT Vista Developers Network PowerLinks are available as-is and are not supported by WebCT. You do not need to license the WebCT Vista PowerLinks Kit or belong to the WebCT Vista Developers Network to use these open source PowerLinks. However, you do need the WebCT Vista PowerLinks Kit for software development to be able to easily and securely customize these PowerLinks. To learn more or to download these PowerLinks today, visit the WebCT Vista Developers Network PowerLinks page.”
