Need help with LMS decision....is Moodle that great?
Sarah, about your requirements:
1 You can integrate Moodle with Paypal
2 Once you've set up the site, adding or editing new content is rather easy (again great resources available)
3 Moodle themes are available (both free and paid), plus each course and activity page can display different blocks
4 It has chats and forums
5 It works with the most popular tools, plus you can create content within Moodle (I especially like block that displays definitions from the Glossary interaction - very useful)
6 Once you install it on a server, users just use their browsers
7 Honestly, you should have one person who knows IT stuff (there are many ebooks and community forum which can help him or her get to know Moodle administration and troubleshooting)
In the end, it all depends on your budget and IT skills.
Hope it helps
