4.1.3 Aggregating Lesson Material

Three tools that can be used to aggregate and present learning material include:
Moodle--an open source learning platform that can be used to present learning material to students in an online learning environment. Like all open source LMS, Moodle is free of charge. I, personally, find open source systems to be a little more difficult to get started. But, it seems like Moodle is an excellent resource once you learn the system and get started.

Blackboard Learn LMS--a tool that can be used to create and present online learning resources to students. Blackboard Learn provides numerous options for instructors including many options for presenting material to students. Some options worth noting include social learning, discussion boards, calendar, and video capabilities. The possibilities seem endless with this LMS.

ProProfs.com--an online tool for creating course content from already existing learning materials including: documents, videos, and presentations. This system seems easy to use. I especially like how already created learning activities can be easily incorporated into online learning for students. This would be something I could use right now in my classroom.
