I NTRODUCTION The two learning management systems discussed in this presentation are: MOODLE – Modular Object Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment EDMODO 2

M OODLE Moodle is a free, online Learning Management system enabling educators to create their own private website filled with dynamic courses that extend learning, any time, anywhere. Meets the needs of a learner, instructor and an administrator. Used for blended learning, distance education, flipped classrooms Innovative features like Calendar and Grade book Based on the social constructivist theory in pedagogy Learners actively co-construct knowledge Interoperable by design to enable integration of external applications and information onto a single Moodle platform 3

H OW M OODLE WORKS Front page of Moodle site has information about the establishment (this can be customized) How users join Moodle depends on their establishment; they might be given logins, they might be allowed to make account themselves Moodle’s structure is organised around courses. Teachers can present their learning resources and activities to students.

S TRIKING FEATURES About 20 different activities available Forums, glossaries, wikis, assignments, quizzes, choices(polls) etc All of us are potential teachers as well as learners in a true collaborative environment, we are both Many of the activities in Moodle are designed to allow students to control common content, such as forums, wikis, glossaries, databases, messaging and so on. This encourages students to add to the total course experience for others There is no teacher or student role Everyone who logs into Moodle has no special privileges until they are allocated roles by the administrator according to their needs in individual courses or contents. 6

S TRIKING FEATURES All users can have their own customizable dashboard. A logged in user can access areas of Moodle such as their courses or profile from the Navigation block and Administration block. What a user sees in these blocks depends on their role and any privileges granted them by the administrator. Give emphasis to collaborative effort Very much useful in corporate sector, where each corporate can create their own establishment and their employees across locations can contribute and collaborate Moodle Community forums Get support from the community, share ideas and meet others in a community of your preferred language from the list 7

D RAWBACKS 9 Not user friendly The users should be technically sound to get all the functions right How many different establishments can it support at the same time?

EDMODO Edmodo was created to bring education into a 21st century environment, when two school district employees set out to bridge the gap between how students live their lives and how they learn in school Three separate users – students, instructors and parents The Edmodo network enables teachers to share content, distribute quizzes, assignments, and manage communication with students, colleagues, and parents 10

11 H OW EDMODO WORKS The teacher has to create a course for which he will be given a code. Students has to join the course by entering corresponding valid codes Once a student joins the course, he is given a parent code so that his parents can also join and see his progress. Instructors can add contents, post assignments and quizzes.

S TRIKING FEATURES 14 Can be used in schools, colleges, universities and also at corporate level Public or private community on Edmodo, where teachers can get (or give) advice, share resources, and support one another's successes. Helps connect all learners with the people and resources needed to reach their full potential Request for training teachers. Serves teachers, administrators, organizations and partners Instructors and parents can monitor their children.

D RAWBACKS 15 Students may use technology as more of a social networking site than as an educational tool. Students may want to participate in more social conversation than academic. It is difficult to filter what students write on each other’s wall. Inappropriate and non-academic content can easily be written on a student’s main page. Learner’s will easily be able to share and access other student’s files. This could lead to ethical issues in cheating and copying of others’ work.
