Thanks for the shout-out!<br />
<br />
And just to clarify for anyone who's reading - EDU 2.0 includes Facebook-like activity streams but they are private and you can control them to work within just a single class or within your school. You can also control who can post to them. But as E. Cohen mentioned, the user interface is quite similar to that of Facebook, which students really like!<br />

I've been using edu20 for close to a year now. It is very good, very easy, reliable and you get plenty of features for free. There are add-on features that can be had for a small fee. (I haven't tried them because I am trying not to draw too much attention to my class...long story, but it amounts to not having any budget at all). I am very happy with this product and I recommend it heartily. My students like it very much. They describe it as facebook for fifth graders.

Had a Moodle site for a while, but a little turned-off with the new version 2.0 post-poned for launch. I had no problems installing and many webhosts have an "automated" Moodle configuration featured. People interested may want to look into this before purchasing/using a webhost.<br></br>

It is not for the faint-of-heart, but incredibly powerful and feature-filled. I was the only one in my school using it and would have been very hard-pressed to convince the school to adopt for all. Not the easiest and many levels of tech comfort among faculty, so looking for something "easier" for everyone.<br/>
<br/>
The truth of the matter is that unless you have a dedicated MOODLE faculty member(s) who will help with trouble-shooting issues, it is an expansive system that many would find frustrating to trouble-shoot on their own. Like I said, I had no problems, but then again, I know (usually) what I was doing.<br/>
<br/>
Hope this helps. If I could go back (after launch of 2.0), I would. In fact, I will certain re-explore it when the newest version is officially launched.<br/>

Oh, also tried Edu 2.0 for a short period of time. I liked what I saw. Unfortunately, as our school began to dive into the Web2.0 world, decisions were made to use another Web 2.0 environment w/o thorough investigation of all possible options available, so I dropped Edu 2.0. Now, with a new drive to introduce online courses, I am again reinvestigating Edu 2.0 (and Edmodo). Hi Andrew.

Hi Andrew. While I have taken a cursory look at Edu2.0 and a some of the the options mentioned, I am a strong proponent of Moodle. It has a terrific feature set, a dedicated development community, is very flexible, scales well, etc.<br />
<br />
We have been using Moodle in my district for 3 years and as the person who supports it and uses it most, I am very happy with it. We happen to host it on our own server, but if you read the moodle.org web site you can find a number of low-cost to free hosting…

<br />
Paying a modest fee for hosting makes sense, as it allows you nearly complete control of your Moodle installation and it is "dedicated" to your school or district. You aren't sharing one installation of a learning management system with hundreds or even thousands of users.<br />
<br />
There a many resources available for learning to use Moodle. <a href="http://www.packtpub.com/">Packt publishing</a> offers at least 3 books, and <a href="http://oreilly.com/">O'Reilly publishing</a> one or two more. There are resoures on <a href="http://edublogs.tv/">Edublog TV</a> and other sites as well.<br />

You can now register students directly at EDU 2.0 so that students don't have to sign up for their own account.<br />

Hey there Andrew-<br />
I'd like you to check out <a href="http://www.ectolearning.com">www.ectolearning.com</a> and tell me what you think. I've used it for the past two years, and I'm quite surprised that I haven't seen it mentioned on Classroom 2.0. It's really easy to create learning content, the students can create their own pages, and you can add graded content as well. Plus, it's free, like it should be!<br />
Let me know what you think.<br />

Hi Derwin,<br />
<br />
This is Graham Glass, founder of edu2.0. Did you use the community forum to suggest this improvement? We usually add new features quickly, but usually only when people actually ask for them ;-)<br />
