As part of the TIP JISC project
(http://www.jisc.ac.uk/index.cfm?name=delettip) we have integrated the TOIA
assessment engine (http://www.toia.ac.uk/) with Bodington VLE
(bodington.org). Bodington is an open source (ie, free) VLE and can be found
on Source Forge. A new version 2.4 has just been released which runs on
linux / tomcat and postgres DB (also all free).
I have CC'd this note to my collegue Howard Noble who is leading this
project, I am sure he will be happy to give you more details if you are
interested.

Hi Joe,
It may be worth looking at the COSE vle that is free, yes free and has been
developed at Stafford Uni.
Follow the link
http://www.staffs.ac.uk/COSE/
The person you want to contact is Professor Mark Stiles at Stafford, he
knows his stuff and I've seen him at quite a few conferences. This could be
a good starting point.
At the College I work at we are using the Learnwise VLE Platform, not free
and not cheap!
I hope this helps
Gary

Subject: [VLES] VLEs and assessment
My first post here, though I have been lurking for a while, so
hello.
I am investigating VLEs and am particularly interested in finding
something
with strong support for assessment. In particular being able to
provide
formative assessments based on a large question bank where learners
can
select parameters and generate a set of MCQs to attempt AND
summative
assessments based on a pre-set secure "paper" of MCQs.
Any suggestions? Is it optimistic to expect a VLE to do this or
should I be
thinking about a separate assessment tool for these elements?
Thanks,
Joe Booth
