John and I attended a session with other IT personnel on Moodle. No one at the meeting was impressed with Moodle for several reasons. First and foremost, even though Moodle is free, there was a significant charge for trainings, add-ons, technical support, etc. Another problem we found was that Moodle did offer some of the features we were looking for, but without the security features we need and that other providers offer at no charge. We felt that Moodle could serve a need at the high school level but would not be utilized in the elementary and middle school level just because of its setup, look, and feel.
After the people from Moodle left, we discussed other options and decided to check out School Fusion as well. We have already talked with the folks from Gaggle and will continue to investigate these options for our county.
