Hi everybody,

I don't really know what it means, but Helen has given us this link that tells us Moodle is in 8th place and Blackboard in 89th.

Probably just that Blackboard users don't answer these kinds of surveys.

Still, I had a smug grin for a few seconds 大笑

Cheers,

Glenys

Hi Glenys

Thanks for the intesting info on the top-100 e-Learning tools in 2011 by Jane Hart.

From the same link you gave in your previous post, you can get more details by clicking on the word Moodle which is a link by itself. Anyway, I've dug a bit deeper and the same webpage reveals more interesting details:

From: http://c4lpt.co.uk/top-tools/top-100-tools/top-tools-moodle/

    Website: www.moodle.org
    Cost: Free (open source)
    Availability:  Download
    Platform: Windows, Mac, Linux
    Top 100 Tools 2011: 8 (up two notches from 2010!)
    Top 100 Tools 2010: 10
    Top 100 Tools 2009: 14=
    Top 100 Tools 2008: 9
    Top 100 Tools 2007: 12=

    Website:    www.blackboard.com
    Cost: Commercial
    Free trial: No
    Availability: Installed on server
    Top 100 Tools 2011: 89 (down 21 notches from 2010!)
    Top 100 Tools 2010: 68=
    Top 100 Tools 2009: -
    Top 100 Tools 2008: -
    Top 100 Tools 2007: -

My conclusion is that Moodle is getting more popular whilst Blackboard is sliding down the scale. But then again, Moodle is free whilst Blackboard is commercial.
