Comparing Flexible IT Options: Wikis vs. Moodle for Student Learning and Resource Management

Explore two flexible IT approaches for educational settings: Wikis and Moodle. This overview highlights the strengths and weaknesses of each platform. Wikis offer a low-tech, cost-effective option for storing teacher notes, creating individual learning plans, and allowing students to upload their work as a portfolio. However, they lack features for tracking grades and managing student data. On the other hand, Moodle provides ample file storage and robust tracking of student progress, but may present technological challenges for some users. Discover how each system could enhance your educational practice.
