Certification via web app?

November 15, 2006 2:26 PM

Looking for a web app that will handle user registration, providing users info, providing users tests on that info (that are scored) so that "certification" can be given on the subject. I have the feeling that Moodle can handle (most?) of this. Any Moodle experts, chime in. Other suggestions (besides Moodle, if any) also appreciated.

I'm a small university web server admin. (Well, I'm 5' 10") I can handle the MySQL/PHP config stuff... I just can't write something from scratch. We have Blackboard, but the people coming to get certified on this info are from all over the state, not just university people.

Moodle can handle that. I've been using it for some time now and it's pretty solid. Re: user registration, it does email-based registration, or you can import a user list, or there are numerous authentication plugins (PAM, LDAP, external db, etc).

I also looked at ATtutor, but found Moodle to be more flexible.
