Moodle

Moodle provides a foundation for course management on the web. Moodle supports structured course-work with tools inlcuding discussion forums, assignments, quizzes, peer assessment and many more. Moodle at Evergreen is password protected and requires enrollment in a course or program before access to the site is available. See: Faculty Moodle Tutorial

Wordpress

WordPress is a web publishing platform with a focus on ease of use, aesthetics, and web standards. WordPress in the curriculum can be used to create publicly accessible websites including curricular sites, blogs, faculty professional sites and student academic journals. Many faculty use a public WordPress curricular site in conjunction with a private Moodle site.
