Start-up story: Baltimore's Moodlerooms Inc.
This week, I learned about Moodlerooms Inc., a Baltimore start-up that's starting to fire on all cylinders. They're a company based out of the Emerging Technologies Center on E. 33rd St. in Baltimore, and they're growing like a weed. Basically, they built open-source software which enables teachers to run courses and connect with students online.
For those who like reading about start-up stories, Moodlerooms was started by three Baltimore educators more than five years ago. It brought in a professional management team (that's Martin Knott, CEO, above) and has started to gain traction in the market for online learning management systems.
I wrote about Moodlerooms in today's print edition. Check out the online version of the story here.

Hello,
They did not "Build" Moodle which is the base software they use.
Its a rather mature and open source software that was developed in Australia by a Mr. Martin Dougiamas
I do however give props to this company on a fine choice of software. As I support clients worldwide using it for e-learning as well.

Great to see a start up company making it in the bad economy!

Are all the non-silly corporate names taken already?
