LMS System: Blackboard and Moodle

  LMS (learning management system) is a part of online education which provides classroom learning such as, activities, etc. Mostly in these days, because of the pandemic, these kinds of systems help us to keep up with education without going to school. There are two tools that I want to introduce you today.

-Blackboard

  We can say that Blackboard is actually an online classroom. It is a part of LMS. So that, teacher can assign the students, control their improvements, upload some documents about the lessons, test the students, make announcements about any kind of changing or about some news, contact with the students, and students can collaborate, discuss with each other online.

  This is a great way to continue the education in some exclusive situations such as this pandemic. Besides the website, there is an app for mobile phones and tablets. So, you can access to your lesson even if you are not home or in a specific place.

-Moodle

  Moodle almost has the same features with Blackboard. It is also a part of LMS and the most used online learning system. It is customizable and flexible. This is probably why many companies, schools and universities prefer Moodle. It includes gamification, online learning, competency-based education, interactive classroom, etc. It’s easy to use, so people of all ages can use without any doubt. Also, the good side of the website is that it is free! There are more than 120 languages that Moodle has translated into which means it is worldwide.

  To sum up, I can say that these tools are both very useful for teachers. As a future teacher, even if there is no pandemic, I still can use one of them for my classes because continuing the education on different platforms might be so helpful for easily distracted students. They can keep up with lessons more.
