Hi
I thought this might be of interest to the list.
Warm regards

The Samaritans is introducing elearning to its volunteers across the UK and
Ireland
They extensively researched the industry standard and chose the open source
learning management system Moodle because they were impressed by the
robust and continually evolving platform that it offers as well as its large user
base, including the Open University, NHS and Cisco.
Moodle allows users to build and administer courses themselves and offers
cost-savings on licence fees, which would have been payable for a proprietary
software solution. Samaritans' training and development officer attended a
two-day Course Creator workshop from specialist consultants HowToMoodle
(http://www.howtomoodle.com), which equipped him with the skills to initiate
courses, upload existing content and design quizzes and wikis.
