It seems we can't get any glimpse into what their product looks like, so I can't answer my question:
How would this be any better than Moodle?
The most I can presume is that Instructure would be more purposely anti-Blackboard and would probably charge to develop features on a per-client basis, which would be very helpful for small institutions that just don't have the staff to implement their own functions in Moodle.
- adammichaelc 18y agoI don't know much about Moodle, but from what I can tell they aren't playing the enterprise sales game... at least not yet. With universities and other large, corporate organizations, salesmanship (not necessarily technical polish) is what wins.
- nihilocrat 18y agoMoodle is definitely targetted for smaller shops, like private colleges, schools, etc.. There's nothing restricting it from being used in large organizations, though, and it has a bunch of automation (automatic enrollment in Moodle courses based on enrollment status in another database, integrate logins with existing LDAP or other directory, etc.), but like most open source projects it's very much a community product and not the product of a for-profit entity trying to sell service to customers (that's available through third parties, though).
