Teams Vs Moodle Vs Google Classroom?
I work at a school and Ms Teams for Education is definitely a viable option for providing blended learning. I would like to hear more from tertiary institutions. Do you think that Ms Teams is a viabl...
- I am interested in this comparison as well. I have used Google Classroom in a secondary classroom last year and it is amazing.
I am still waiting to try the (1) rubric grading feature and (2) forms to assignment feature to be available.
I especially don't like that there are no toggles just to "Ask a Question" it is a very important step in formative assessment. :( I'm hoping the forms to assignment will make this happen.
I've used all 3 and at a very basic level, they pretty much all do the same thing, albeit in different ways.
Teams VS Google Classroom
With reference to distributing resources, setting assignments and managing groups, I feel that there is very little between them. I don't really like the chat feature in Teams and I did prefer the ease of organising resources and learning materials in GC initially. Where Teams wins is the integration of the Class OneNote.
Both VS Moodle
Moodle is a very different beast to both GC and Teams. You can use it at a basic level and have a lot of functionality that its similar to GC and Teams or you can delve deeply into Moodle and have a full-blown VLE/Content management system. The sheer number of plugins for Moodle is astounding. I loved being able to craft entire lessons that were standalone "experiences" for students rather than using Teams or GC to create resources that can be used to deliver content; Moodle let me plan and deliver the resources as a lesson, if I wanted it to. It all depends on what you want to do with Moodle.
As I said at the start, at a basic level, they can all create groups, apply resources to groups and set assignments. If that's what you want to start with, then any will do the job.
