![]() We also investigated how student collaborative behaviour and integration into the community related to success. We used a mixed methodology approach to investigate how online activity and discussion postings relate to learning and course completion. The context of this study was an online course on web-based education for a Masters degree in computer-integrated education at the University of Pretoria. Beaudoin reasoned that online students sometimes engage and learn even when not taking part in online discussions. The establishment of an online community is widely held as the most important prerequisite for successful course completion and depends on an interaction between a peer group and a facilitator. In this study, some analyses and comparisons were made about open source learning management systems and Moodle was outstanding with many features among other LMS that aims to improve the educational quality and include the tools that an e-learning system should have. ![]() As far as the literature is reviewed, not much research has already been conducted about the comparisons of open source learning management systems in distance education. Generalizing the usage of Open Source Software will provide development of learning tools and increases the educational quality. Cost which is the most important disadvantages of distance learning according to traditional learning environments can be removed with the extensive features of the Open Source Software. As is widely known that, distance learning is costly, and cost-effectiveness becomes more important as the institutions become large-scale providers of distance education. So, students can access information in every time and everywhere either in libraries or during the lectures. By using distance learning tools, the student education can be more flexible with respect to place and time constraints. In the last decade, the effect of Internet usage in education has increased gradually and new technologies have improved student's learning. Keywords: Distance Learning, Open Source systems (OSS), Learning Management System (LMS), and System considering enhancement in recent trends, technology, quality assurance of instructional processĪnd it’s outputs according to targeted goals, This paper analyzed and compared five of the open sourceĭistance learning systems and summarize the some important recommendations and conclusions. The main objective in our study is to override the difficultiesīy comparing best Open Source systems (OSS) LMS’s and recommend a new open source learning Of open source LMS’s are a complex issue.
