<p><b>Session Abstract:</b> <br />
</p>
<dl><dd>We'd been looking for a way to effectively and efficiently develop, deliver, and track online education at Texas AgriLife Extension, and to do so we needed a good, robust tool at a great price. We found it in <a href="http://moodle.org/" class="external text" title="http://moodle.org/">Moodle</a>, an open source (freely available!) Learning Management System.
</dd></dl>
<dl><dd>We have been tinkering with Moodle in Texas since the summer of 2006, but jumped in with two feet in the summer of 2007 when eXtension offered to make Moodle available and support its use for Extension at the national level.
</dd></dl>
<dl><dd>Join us to see the Modular Object Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment called <a href="http://pdc.extension.org/course/view.php?id=37" class="external text" title="http://pdc.extension.org/course/view.php?id=37">Moodle</a>, learn about Mooodle's functionality and potential, see about how we're using it to develop courses for employees' professional development and for clientèle outreach, and how you might use it as well.
