A research intervention can be expressed crudely as get in, get on, get out (with academic and moral /ethical credibility intact). The trouble with research that has to take place within a compressed space of time like an MSc is that get in and get out take about as much time as for PhD but leaving very little time for get on.

It's OK to be blunt Alexandre - but do be realistic
Ethnographic research may be possible for Masters students but not necessarily realistic in many cases. I speak as Postrgraduate Director for students who are struggling to complete a dissertation in 3 months. A frequent piece of advice is "It's not a PhD you know".

There is some good evidence here that should/could decrease hysteria.

Here is a closing quote
"Dr. M. Ybarra: Thank you all for being here today. I guess I would just want to
reiterate that these issues are complex. They require us to be
thoughtful, which we are capable of doing assuming we stop and do
it, and to recognize the distinction between the technology and the
kid."

Well students and teachers certainly manage their knowledge on Moodle, and the language options let you rule out 'school' type terminology.
To me software package choice and evaluation are about matching your resources (money and time) against the software package features and constraints, so.... you need to start with what the client wants and what they have to put into it. If you share those with the forum, you might get more targetted help.
Hope that helps (unless you wanted a yes/no answer)
