What do you like best? Learning through technology in Education, while stude ts at home. Because it will educate them from home. Also staying at home will help the students stay safe and learn online.
What do you dislike? It will takes many times, it is complicated but effective. And students and teachers will learn online through technology as it's very important to be well educated and to use e learning on line. Incase they will stay at home till emergency time passed and Corona virus situations finished.

What do you like best? No licensing fees. Moodle users' community support. Good documentation. Can be customised through themes to match corporate look or used as supplied for a clean professional user interface. Plugin to enhance core functionalities.
What do you dislike? Reporting for commercial / corporate use could be stronger. Availability of plugins makes for a very flexible product but plugins are not guaranteed to be supported or available in future should the contributor no longer work on the plugin.

What do you like best? Moodle Mobile app connects with your MoodleCloud site on your mobile and tablet, so you can access your course content anywhere. Available on iOS, Android & Windows. All sites include access to BigBlueButton web conferencing. It includes video, audio, whiteboards, desktop sharing and session recording. Use this tool to connect in groups for presentations, creative brainstorming or meetings.
What do you dislike? The On-Premise setup can be very technically challenging , especially for non-techy folks. But of course there are options to rescue you.
