Works like Blackboard, but it's open-source
What do you like best?
1) The cost (free) 2) It's open-source, so we can request new features and changes 3) Excellent Test and Gradebook tools 4) Almost all tools are group-aware 5) Working with an outside vendor to improve accessibility (massive updates have been applied) 6) Integrates with our web conferencing tool (BigBlueButton), which is also open-source 7) Project sites can be created for faculty, student, and administrator groups 8) Improved responsive design and performance on mobile devices
What do you dislike?
It can be a pro and a con: It's an open-source product, so that means the community gets to decide what gets added or fixed, which may be or not be what you want worked on first! Different universities created different tools, so the community is updating tools so they function in a similar manner. The community is working on simplifying the software download instructions. This product really is open-source, but there is not a lot of marketing done to let folks know about it!
