Moodle
Modular Object-Based Dynamic Learning Environment
One of my favourite teaching tools is moodle. Moodle is an open source Learning Management System (LMS). Getting started with moodle is quite simple. You can download it from here. Next all you need is a host. Setting up your own moodle platform does require some knowledge, but there are many sites (free & commercial) that offer moodle hosting.
