When looking for an aggregate tool that meets the needs of the user, it is important to examine different aspects of the software such as:
1. Accessibility
2. Ease of Use
3. Learning Curve
4. Cost
5. Export and Import
6. Visual Appeal of Delivery
These are the three tools that I feel meet these qualifications. I am most familiar with the following:
Blackboard - This is a great tool for online learning. It allows access to assignments, gradebook, assessments, and discussion boards. I have used this particular aggregate software for many of my classes in college.
Moodle - I have also used Moodle before to upload assignments and work through various modules in a gifted certification class. This software allows you to build courses, outlines, assignments and discussion boards as well.
Edmodo - Edmodo has become more popular in the last few years. It is free for all users, which appeals to many people. Students and teachers can have access to the program, and post questions or comments in their class. This is a great resource for students to be able to use in order to effectively collaborate with their peers. Teachers can also post reminders, assignments and give feedback to the students.
