Seven Open-Source Mac Apps You Need Right Now - Lisa Hoover, CIO
There are loads of options that are tailor-made for the enterprise, but seven open-source solutions really stand out from the pack as must-haves for the Mac users in your workplace. Moodle has long been heralded as a superior open-source course management system for educators, but it certainly has a place in the corporate environment as well. Because it was designed for online learning communities, Moodle is a perfect solution for managing your company training classes or professional development sessions. Moodle scales amazingly well. It handles classroom settings with 10,000 participants just as smoothly as it serves a small class of ten. Because it's open source, Moodle is completely customizable to a company's needs. Dozens of additional modules and plug-ins add extra functionality, such as podcasting and video conferencing. You may never be able to fully convince your staff that company in-services are fun, but Moodle can at least help you make it less of a chore.
