Research and identify two tools that can be used to aggregate and present learning material, other than the two mentioned in the lesson. Link to the two tools in your blog.
Thinking about instructional design, how does each tool benefit the learner by aggregating and presenting material in a cohesive manner? Are there drawbacks to the tools you researched?
Moodle is an open-source learning platform. It benefits the learner by allowing users to have a collaboration and communication space where all materials needed for a course can be housed. It gives the teacher control of enrollment, courses, assignments, chatting, discussion forums, quizzes, and resources. Moodle is effective for teachers and students, and, best of all, it is FREE. The only drawback I experienced was having to download the software to my PC. Students may not have a device with all of the specs needed. The download was not user-friendly for me, but there is a global support community.
Blackboard is similar to Moodle except that there is a price associated with this platform. Blackboard is commonly used among commercial eLearning software. Several universities use this platform, as I did during my graduate work.
EasyGenerator allows teachers and students to collaborate with each another. Teachers can create courses with ease by using learning object templates. What's best about this platform is that it is free and cloud-based, so there is no downloading. This great tool also has a grading feature for assessments.
