"I'm on the Board for the Online School but not teaching. Two teachers from our school will be teaching multivariable calculus and differential equations for the Online School, so they will be using Moodle for Harpeth Hall and Haiku for the…"

"We also decided not to persue Blackboard due to the cost, but I have not heard of frustration from poor support. Considering how expensive it is, you would think they would provide good support. So your plan is to use Moodle for the classes at…"

"We used Blackboard at Harpeth Hall for two years and dropped it because of the high cost and very poor support. Blackboard was VERY frustrating. We will move our students to Moodle next year. We actually began the move to Moodle with our teachers in…"

"Demitri - We already have Moodle capability at our school, but it seems cumbersome and slow while Blackboard seems very user friendly. I can imagine that some teachers would be reluctant to use Moodle but would really enjoy Blackboard. Also, the…"

"Hi Dawn, I used Blackboard as a student and then as an instructor at Johns Hopkins (and also administered a Blackboard server several years ago.) I like its consistency and navigational ease of use. More recently, I've been using Moodle because…"
