	Blackboard Learn by Anthology	Edmodo (discontinued)
Considered Both Products	Anthology, Inc Verified User Chose Blackboard Learn by Anthology Blackboard Learn is more robust because it allows for much more dissemination of materials for higher-level courses. Assignments are seamlessly connected in Blackboard Learn versus Google Classroom, where you have to access Google Docs to see your instructor's comments. Edmodo … Incentivized Helpful? Timothy Sawah IT Project Manager in Information Technology at The George Washington University (Higher Education, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Blackboard Learn by Anthology Blackboard is more expensive than its direct competitors but has better customer support and a wider variety of features. Courses are more structured in blackboard. The graphics are less messy compared to Moodle and Edmodo. Blackboard has more interactive features and the code … Incentivized Helpful?	Discontinued Products Amy Westby High School Counselor in Professional Services at International Schools Consortium (Education Management, 501-1000 employees) Chose Edmodo (discontinued) Edmodo helps us to use our SIS system and Google Suite to interact with student engagement and making appointments. Incentivized Helpful? Ben Westby Educator in Customer Service at Garfield RE2 (E-Learning, 201-500 employees) Chose Edmodo (discontinued) Edmodo is very similar, and they all share essential functions. Edmodo allows us to track student progress with visuals that are a bit easier than Google Classroom or Schoology. The learning community aspect of Edmodo is also a great tool to use for helping staff learn … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Edmodo (discontinued) Edmodo is inferior to the two listed products. I did not have a choice in selecting Edmodo. Wonder Workshop mandates that all users sign up for Edmodo as a condition for participation in a student competition. Edmodo is less user-friendly, less robust, and less effective. … Incentivized Helpful? Sudi Stodola Professional Learning Coordinator at Denver Public Schools (Education Management, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Edmodo (discontinued) I have taught hybrid classrooms using WebCT, Blackboard, and D2L. I have used Schoology in the past for a brief time. Edmodo is a good LMS because students like its Facebook style; I like it because I feel it is a K-12 appropriate means of getting secondary students used to the … Incentivized Helpful? Amanda Youngblood English Language Arts Instructor at Windermere Preparatory School (Education Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Edmodo (discontinued) Edmodo is primarily for communicating and collaborating, and because its purpose is different, it doesn't have many of the options and tools that one expects from a LMS (Learning Management System). While it excels at connecting parents, students, and teachers, as well as … Helpful? Justin Leach Social Studies Department Chair / Social Studies Teacher at Cincinnati Public Schools (Education Management, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Edmodo (discontinued) See previous comments. Helpful? Barbara Boksz, Ph.D. Teacher at Harford County Public Schools (Primary/Secondary Education, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Edmodo (discontinued) I have utilized Blackboard, WebCt, and proprietary software from 3 different virtual schools. One of the biggest benefits is that Edmodo is free for schools, thus avoiding the big financial ticket of Blackboard or the proprietary software packages. The caveat though, is that … Helpful? Kat Crawford Director of Technology Solutions at CEEAS (Education Management, 1-10 employees) Chose Edmodo (discontinued) Edmodo has a simplistic and familiar design that attracts teachers and students to engage with the platform. Even though the functionality looks basic, teachers can dig deep to create personalized learning experiences quickly. Most other platforms have some of the functionality … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Edmodo (discontinued) The discussion feature in Blackboard has definitely improved in the past few upgrades but it is still unable to filter conversations in context by student. Edmodo on the other hand, is external to Blackboard and therefore, it requires students to exit the LMS and log in with … Helpful?
