    Considered Both Products

    Chose Moodle
    None of the other products have nearly the flexibility or cost saving that Moodle does.

    Chose Moodle
    Moodle compares extremely well to other proprietary LMS applications I have used including D2L and eRacer based upon the sheer number of features for managing course content. Including third party options and custom modules there are almost unlimited capabilities. Themes in …

    Chose Sakai
    As an adjunct professor, I didn't pick Sakai for the university. I have experience with Moodle, Blackboard, eCollege, iBoard and now Sakai. I would have to say that Sakai is one of my all time favorite LMSs to use as it is very easy to navigate.

    Chose Sakai
    Our faculty found Moodle difficult to use-we tried at least two different releases of it with different vendors. It may have changed greatly since we worked with it in 2010-2012, but that was our experience.

    Blackboard was what we were familiar with, but some of its tools were …

    Chose Sakai

    Chose Sakai
    I was not part of the selection committee, but I believe the ability to white label Sakai was very significant to the choice being made. In another institution I taught (not the one in which I used Sakai) the decision was made to go with MoodleRooms due to the need for support …

    Chose Sakai
    Sakai is a fair competitor to other online learning systems (i.e. Blackboard, Canvas, Desire-to-Learn). Essentially, Sakai is simply a different flavor of similar models for online learning management systems. It is more different from Moodle and Moodle's social networking …

    Chose Sakai
    I did not personally select Sakai. However, it is fairly easy to use and customize. That being said, this product is being abandoned by developers/universities and should not be adopted by an organization.
