Article: Faculty Perspectives

This article just made me think about how I was in a meeting recently about moving from Performance Pathways to another data management program. We sat at the table talking about the advantages and disadvantages of one program over another. Both programs did pretty much the same thing, just as Blackboard and Moodle, but the differences were about the details. I think that the issues can be debated over and over again, but when it comes down to it Moodle is free. That can give the smaller institutions a way to stay on the cutting edge of technology. As a classroom teacher, I can see using this with no problem. I can understand both perspectives, but as far as I am concerned Moodle can do what you need it to do.
