Abstract

Two research groups at the Inter-American School of Library Science, University of Antioquia (Medellí­n-Colombia), share their experience and lessons learned during the adaptation and use of the Moodle learning management system (LMS) platform as a useful means for information, documentation, and knowledge management in research projects. Moodle was developed as a tool for online course management. This ongoing adaptation has yielded important benefits to the researchers and become a model for the University. This type of technological platform, available to most universities for instructional purposes, has potential to become a key developmental tool for any research project or group.
