Moodle is an Open Source Course Management System (CMS), also known as a Learning Management System (LMS) or a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). It has become very popular among educators around the world as a tool for creating online dynamic web sites for their students. To work, it needs to be installed on a web server somewhere, either on one of your own computers or one at a web hosting company.
What is Moodle?
The focus of the Moodle project is always on giving educators the best tools to manage and promote learning, but there are many ways to use Moodle:
* Moodle has features that allow it to scale to very large deployments and hundreds of thousands of students, yet it can also be used for a primary school or an education hobbyist.
* Many institutions use it as their platform to conduct fully online courses, while some use it simply to augment face-to-face courses (known as blended learning).
* Many of our users love to use the many activity modules (such as Forums, Wikis, Databases and so on) to build richly collaborative communities of learning around their subject matter (in the social constructionist tradition), while others prefer to use Moodle as a way to deliver content to students (such as standard SCORM packages) and assess learning using assignments or quizzes.
The word Moodle was originally an acronym for Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment, which is mostly useful to programmers and education theorists. It's also a verb that describes the process of lazily meandering through something, doing things as it occurs to you to do them, an enjoyable tinkering that often leads to insight and creativity. As such it applies both to the way Moodle was developed, and to the way a student or teacher might approach studying or teaching an online course. Anyone who uses Moodle is a Moodler.
Charles W. Bailey, Jr. Scholarly Electronic Publishing Bibliography, Version 75: 5/12/2009
This selective bibliography presents over 3,400 English-language articles, books, and other printed and electronic sources that are useful in understanding scholarly electronic publishing efforts on the Internet. Most sources have been published between 1990 and the present; however, a limited number of key sources published prior to 1990 are also included. Where possible, links are provided to works that are freely available on the Internet, including e-prints in disciplinary archives and institutional repositories. Note that e-prints and published articles may not be identical. In cases where the publisher frequently changes journal URLs with providing public notification or URL redirection, included URLs are to the publisher's domain, not to individual articles.
The XHTML version of SEPB is designed for interactive use. Each major section is a separate file. There are links to sources that are freely available on the Internet. It can be searched using a Google Search Engine. Whether the search results are current depends on Google's indexing frequency.
In addition to the bibliography, the XHTML document includes:
(1) Scholarly Electronic Publishing Weblog (monthly list of new resources; also available by e-mail-- second URL--and RSS Feed-- third URL)
(2) Scholarly Electronic Publishing Resources (directory of over 330 related Web sites)
(3) Archive (prior versions of the bibliography)
Annual PDF Editions
The 2006, 2007, and 2008 annual PDF editions of the Scholarly Electronic Publishing Bibliography are also available.

Digital resources for teaching undergraduate ecology, such as images, data, animations, articles, and activities, and information to supplement lectures, labs, and discussions, can be shared online and adapted by colleagues for their own courses.
From the following article:
"Literature mining for the biologist: from information retrieval to biological discovery"
Lars Juhl Jensen, Jasmin Saric & Peer Bork, Nature Reviews Genetics 7, 119-129 (February 2006) doi:10.1038/nrg1768
There are numerous literature collections (corpora), software modules and web-based applications for biomedical literature mining. Here we list some applications that can be accessed through web interfaces and a small subset of resources that are useful for developers of new literature-mining systems.
