Re: [school-discuss] Learning Management Systems

[Anna Johnson <anna_m_johnson@yahoo.com>]

I wouldn't say MIT's LMS is mature (in fact, I'm not
sure they have any installations yet.) but if you're
interested in who the best and the brightest
are....check out MIT's Open Knowledge Initiative.

The project has been going on for about 18 months.  
Good Luck!
