Overall Satisfaction with Moodle
Moodle is being used to deliver online courses across the whole organization. Since we are not a business, it does not address any business problems.
- Moodle can host content that can be updated quickly.
- Moodle has a simple, easy-to-use interface.
- Students usually report greater satisfaction using Moodle than other options.
- While it is built for social constructivism, it still ends up being mostly instructivist in nature. The design does not push towards social constructivism.
- We are not a business but a University, so I can not answer this question.
- Blackboard,Canvas
We actually used Blackboard and Moodle at the same time before being forced to use Blackboard exclusively by the higher-ups. Moodle is easier to navigate, easier to use, and more intuitive for all users from admins to instructors to students.
Canvas is another tool that I have used. It is comparable with Moodle, but closer to Blackboard in paradigm (Canvas goes for a more instructivist design). Canvas is also much better than Blackboard, but lacks some of the features of both Moodle and Blackboard.
