Re: Learning Management Systems - Moodle or Sakai?

Vi-

If you are up for evaluating a third product I highly recommend
Schoology<http://www.schoology.com/>.
It was created three years ago as a learning management system that would
"combine a collaborative learning tool with a course management system" -
think Blackboard meets Facebook.

Recently Schoology decided to offer the main features of the system to
schools for free (more advanced features such as logo customization are
pay). We just got on board and are already quite impressed with the ease of
use and intuitiveness of the features. They welcome input from clients
and are constantly adding features - currently in the works is integration
with active directory.

If this is something that interests you, I can keep you informed of our
implementation and use. Hope this helps.

Best Wishes,

Melissa Tredenick
