Answer: Which LMS is best? How does the selected LMS meet the needs of all stakeholders, including administrators, students, teachers and faculty, instructional technology, development, support, and parents? How does the selected LMS align with the initiatives, growth, and technological needs of your organization?
The LMS I have chosen as best is Moodle, which is a free LMS unlike some of the others that are paid for. This system would work best to meets the needs of all stakeholders at my present school, by helping teachers become students centered, collaborative and technology driven.
I believe that Moodle would also make PD effortless, by being able to offer synchronous and asynchronous PD depending on teacher preference. Administrators would also be able to keep track of who is turning grades or other important paper work – helping to keep others accountable.
Moodle would align with the school and district initiatives of individual learning and PLCs. Moodle would allow you to give a particular assignment to an entire class(es) or just a particular student or set of students. This would also be helpful in sharing with a PLC.
