- jestinjoy1 12y agoI use Moodle. I dont think "Moodle is dreadful". The features provided by Moodle is unmatched. For some time I used Google course builder. For me it was a total failure. Google product means everything in Googles hand. Moodle provides power to the people. Once learned, Moodle is easy to use.
- mncolinlee 12y ago> Once learned, Moodle is easy to use. I think you hit the nail on the head. There is nothing discoverable about Moodle's interface. Teachers complain that their students become lost immediately and give up. It's not just one or two teachers. I was just at an Edutech event where all the teachers were complaining about Moodle. Moodle could be great if they really took on the design challenge and their usability issues. How about a little UX in here?
- dublinben 12y agoHave you tried Sakai? It's a free software course management system that' been around for several years, and is much better than Blackboard et. al. It's already being used by several hundred schools, like Duke University, several UCs, Rice University, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakai_Project https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakai_Project
