Actually, I would, as I specifically applied for the job I am now doing (Moodle Developer) because it was working with Moodle. So I would at least care if that VLE died.

Enough of the purposefully facetious and leading comment.

I’m not a teacher any more. Most of the comments being made about the VLE/PLE debate focus on the teachers and the teaching, but that doesn’t concern me.  I’m a developer, a techie. I’m currently working with Moodle as my main focus but things change. I may soon be getting invlolved in Mahara development, or Drupal, or Joomla, or goodness knows what else may come along.

I’m currently lucky and thankful that there are employers out there who have enough presense of mind to employ people to develop open-source software for the benifit of not just themselves but for the community too.

As long as there is technology out there which needs developing, I’ll be happy (and employed, that’s the critical one). As for the teachers, I’ll let the debate continue.
