What is eLearning?
eLearning (or electronic learning or eLearning) is a term
that encompasses all forms of Technology-EnhancedEnhanced
Learning (TEL) or very specific types of TEL such as online
or Web-based learning. Nevertheless, the term does not
have a universally accepted definition.

The term eLearning is ambiguous to those outside the
eLearning industry, and even within its diverse disciplines it
has different meanings to different people. For instance in
companies, it often refers to the strategies that use the
company network to deliver training courses to employees
and lately in most Universities, eLearning is used to define
a specific mode to attend a course or program of study
where the students rarely or never meet face-to-face, nor
                                                    face,
access on-campus educational facilities, because they study
online.
Learning Management System (LMS)
A learning management system (LMS) is a software
application for the administration, documentation,
tracking, and reporting of training programs, classroom
and online events, eLearning programs, and training
content.

LMSs cater to educational, administrative, and
deployment requirements. While an LMS for corporate
learning, for example, may share many characteristics
with a VLE, or virtual learning environment, used by
educational institutions, they each meet unique needs
                                                needs.

The virtual learning environment used by universities and
colleges allow instructors to manage their courses and
exchange information with students for a course that in
most cases will last several weeks and will meet several
times during those weeks.

In the corporate setting a course may be much shorter,
completed in a single instructor-led or online session
                                               session.
Open Source LMS

There are many open source LMS available. Below, is a list of most popular ones. The list is
presented in alphabetical order and is not an indication of their popularity or effectiveness.

 •   ATutor
 •   Claroline
 •   Dokeos
 •   ILIAS -
 •   Moodle
 •   OLAT
 •   Sakai Project

Moodle is the number one open source LMS. Moodle has a significant user base with more than
45k registered sites. Apart from that, it is easily extendible
                                                    extendible.

Moodle software is free but to get a real sense of cost of implementing Moodle see this link -

Commercial LMS

Similarly, there are many commercial LMS available Below, is list of most popular ones. The list is

presented in alphabetical order and is not an indication of their popularity or effectiveness.

 •   Angel Learning
 •   Blackboard
 •   Desire2Learn
 •   eCollege

Blackboard is most popular commercial eLearning Software provided by company of same
name. Blackboard was involved in a fight regarding a patent infringement case. Blackboard got lot
of negative publicity due to opposition by open source community. Finally, they took a pledge to
forever refrain from asserting patent rights against open-source developers, except when it is itself
sued for patent infringement.
Moodle Vs Blackboard
Now we know, the best open source tool and the best commercial tool available. But which of them to
use in your institute?

In Feb. 2005, Kathy D. Munoz, and Joan Van Duzer from Humboldt State University (HSU) conducted a
study to find Better tool between Moodle and Blackboard and he published a report – "Blackboard vs.
Moodle. A Comparison of Satisfaction with Online Teaching and Learning Tools".

The research involved teaching students using Blackboard and Moodle as an addition to normal
classroom teaching. Some of the question that research intended to answer are as follows:

 •   1. Did Blackboard/Moodle enhance instruction?
 •   2. Received adequate technical assistance?
 •   3 .Technology-based activities developed problem
                                               problem-solving skills?
 •   4.Well organized instructional materials?
 •   5. Communication tools: Interaction with classmates?
 •   6. Communication tools: Interaction with instructor?
 •   7.Web-based resources were effective learning tools?
 •   8. Discussion Boards were easy to use?

Almost on all these parameters Moodle scored over blackboard. Moodle was found to be more effective
tool for students and teachers. So we have a clear winner – Moodle.

Suggestions

•   Don't use free hostings unless your goals are short
                                                  short-term.

•   BigGyan provides a complete solution to most clients.
    The packages are available for institutes of various sizes - whether an
    individual teacher teaching 50 students or a university with over 5000
    students.
Thank you

Comparison - E Learning Hosting Providers

  • 1. eLearning Hosting Providers Comparative analysis of BigGyan, Remote Remote-Learn.net and E-Learn Design Ltd. Learn 10 February 2010 Valeria Filipova Plovdiv University, Bulgaria valeria.filipova@gmail.com
  • 2. Presentation will cover What is eLearning? Learning Management System (LMS) Open Source LMS Commercial LMS Moodle Vs Blackboard Features of Moodle Main Objective of the Study Study - BigGyan, Remote Remote-Learn.net and E-Learn Design Ltd. Findings Suggestions
  • 3. What is eLearning? eLearning (or electronic learning or eLearning) is a term that encompasses all forms of Technology-EnhancedEnhanced Learning (TEL) or very specific types of TEL such as online or Web-based learning. Nevertheless, the term does not have a universally accepted definition. The term eLearning is ambiguous to those outside the eLearning industry, and even within its diverse disciplines it has different meanings to different people. For instance in companies, it often refers to the strategies that use the company network to deliver training courses to employees and lately in most Universities, eLearning is used to define a specific mode to attend a course or program of study where the students rarely or never meet face-to-face, nor face, access on-campus educational facilities, because they study online.
  • 4. Learning Management System (LMS) A learning management system (LMS) is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, and reporting of training programs, classroom and online events, eLearning programs, and training content. LMSs cater to educational, administrative, and deployment requirements. While an LMS for corporate learning, for example, may share many characteristics with a VLE, or virtual learning environment, used by educational institutions, they each meet unique needs needs. The virtual learning environment used by universities and colleges allow instructors to manage their courses and exchange information with students for a course that in most cases will last several weeks and will meet several times during those weeks. In the corporate setting a course may be much shorter, completed in a single instructor-led or online session session.
  • 5. Open Source LMS There are many open source LMS available. Below, is a list of most popular ones. The list is presented in alphabetical order and is not an indication of their popularity or effectiveness. • ATutor • Claroline • Dokeos • ILIAS - • Moodle • OLAT • Sakai Project Moodle is the number one open source LMS. Moodle has a significant user base with more than 45k registered sites. Apart from that, it is easily extendible extendible.

  • 6. Commercial LMS Similarly, there are many commercial LMS available Below, is list of most popular ones. The list is available. presented in alphabetical order and is not an indication of their popularity or effectiveness. • Angel Learning • Blackboard • Desire2Learn • eCollege Blackboard is most popular commercial eLearning Software provided by company of same name. Blackboard was involved in a fight regarding a patent infringement case. Blackboard got lot of negative publicity due to opposition by open source community. Finally, they took a pledge to forever refrain from asserting patent rights against open-source developers, except when it is itself sued for patent infringement.
  • 7. Moodle Vs Blackboard Now we know, the best open source tool and the best commercial tool available. But which of them to use in your institute? In Feb. 2005, Kathy D. Munoz, and Joan Van Duzer from Humboldt State University (HSU) conducted a study to find Better tool between Moodle and Blackboard and he published a report – "Blackboard vs. Moodle. A Comparison of Satisfaction with Online Teaching and Learning Tools". The research involved teaching students using Blackboard and Moodle as an addition to normal classroom teaching. Some of the question that research intended to answer are as follows: • 1. Did Blackboard/Moodle enhance instruction? • 2. Received adequate technical assistance? • 3 .Technology-based activities developed problem problem-solving skills? • 4.Well organized instructional materials? • 5. Communication tools: Interaction with classmates? • 6. Communication tools: Interaction with instructor? • 7.Web-based resources were effective learning tools? • 8. Discussion Boards were easy to use? Almost on all these parameters Moodle scored over blackboard. Moodle was found to be more effective tool for students and teachers.
