Bern Moves Schools to NextCloud
-
Bern, the capital of Switzerland (and the city from which both sides of my family come) is moving their public schools to NextCloud. A major win for open source and for NextCloud.
Der Bund, one of Switzerland’s largest newspapers, reports on the digitalization of schools in Bern with new hard- and software. Nextcloud is an important part of the mix provided for the 10.000 students, and the deployment will be backed by the expertise of Nextcloud GmbH. On Inside-channels.ch a list of the products is shared, including Moodle, Collabora Online and of course Nextcloud.
Also part of the open source deal are Collabora and Moodle.

Moodle was pretty good for an online classroom the last time I used it. It can be complicated to maintain, but it generally runs nicely for the users.

A community college in South Carolina (I believe) was using Moodle several years ago when I took an online VMware course from them. They were one of the cheapest VMware certified courses out there, and thanks to Moodle, I was able to "attend" the class from home, in California. I hadn't heard of Moodle prior to taking the class.

Moodle has done well for themselves. They are a really major player these days.

Isn't Canvas based on Moodle?

That sounds right.
