Digication is an interesting new model for delivering online courses.  First I should say that I think moodle is brilliant and offers both the pedagogy and technology to the end user, where as Digication downplays online pedagogy and seems to only focus on making it "easy" to use (which is not completely the case). It is easy to use in the sense that they are doing all the IT behind the scenes work.  That aside, moodle blows it away. I've been testing it out, and find it a bit cumbersome.  It's kind of like when Photoshop went mainstream and everyone thought they were graphic designers because they could apply filters to images.   What are others thoughts on this topic?
