I am very excited about the prospects of this new project. OpenAcademic is a new company with the sole aim of provide open source learning solutions which are:

• Flexible in meeting student needs
• Flexible in meeting the needs of teacher
• Flexible in meeting institutional needs

To achieve these goals we approach things from an end users prospective - you should never need to bend your requirements and needs to fit the software you are using - it should be the other around, the software should work for you.

OpenAcademic takes advantage of some of the best Open Source educational tools available; Moodle, and Elgg as well as the excellent OpenID to glue it all together.

This is an organic project, we will be learning as we go along and are actively encouraging people to get involved. So, if you are a developer, and educator with a passion for online learning tools and environments or just someone who has a passion for this area, please get in touch.
