Blackboard vs. MOODLE
Channel Islands California State University conducted an 8 month long project testing between the transition of the new BB or transitioning to MOODLE. What they found was both students and faculty preferred BB over MOODLE, felt it was more reliable and had more tool ease of use.
MOODLE vs. Blackboard
As a teacher in elementary education I love MOODLE! I would recommend districts try MOODLE especially if they were on a small budget. In elementary ed. I don’t need some of the services that BB is offering that makes BB more attractive but also costs consumers more money. If you’ve got an innovative technology department and a small budget MOODLE might be the way for you.
