In thinking about the move toward Open Source Learning Management Systems (i.e., Moodle, Sakai, ATutor, etc., etc.) from Blackboard... Has anyone encountered or addressed potential security risks/concerns that may be more prevalent in the Open Source LMS environment vs the COT LMS? 1. Timeliness of Patch Deployment 2. More difficulty protecting data stores (i.e., distributed, the potential for DBs on individual Faculty workstation) others? Thanks in advance.
