Description
Blackboard (think Microsoft) has the research, design, and support dollars of a major corporation behind it, is ubiquitous in higher education (they own over 60% of the commercial market), and partners with some of the tech industry’s heaviest hitters.
Moodle (think Linux) has the cost benefits (hard to beat free!), has a worldwide community of developers customizing this open source program, and has a social constructivist philosophy integrated into its services.
But when you get down to the nitty gritty – the details that matter most to Faculty and students – which learning management system best succeeds in meeting your teaching and learning needs? Assessments, discussion boards, content posting, file management, layout, ease of use, time commitment, ability to collaborate, and more – we’ll give you the lowdown as to how these systems compare and what might be the best option for you and your students.
