MOODLE DISCUSSION (Y)Moodle crashed again T_T
I'd prefer AsknLearn.
Let's see the advantages & disadvantages of Moodle
(I may miss out some. Thought it on the spot, so don't expect much)
MOODLE:
- Able to communicate with friends directly
- Edit your profile page/display picture
- Able to blog
- Forum topics and homework uploaded are categorised according to subject
- All categories are displayed on ONE main page. Easier access.
- Server cannot handle that much amount of traffic. Crash often.
- Powerpoints take quite some time to load. For some, there are even problems downloading. (in my case, I can't download a single powerpoint. Even when I tried all 3 computers)
- The colour theme is ... well, plain?
- Problems may occur. Passwords were reset to default (IC) once.
And AsknLearn hasn't those fancy stuff mentiond in advatages, but doing without those will not be a problem. Are those pratical? It has all practical functions required, is more atractive in colour scheme, enables faster downloads of powerpoints, and never did it crash. All these basic stuff is why we need an online portal for schoolwork. Plus, it never crashed.
However, I must go with circumstances and accept the fact that DHS has now switched to Moodle. Permanently (unless a new web is found...). Anyway, problems are inevitable.
I'll LOVE Moodle. But, crashes arent lovely. (LOL)
