Blackboard and D2L

I think both of the systems are just about the same, I know I was researching pros and cons, and blackboard was claiming that D2L was stealing formats and the way they set up their learning tools. There is still an ongoing investigation and lawsuit going on between these to companies. Moodle and blackboard seems like it would be alot less secure than D2L. I think maybe because I am used to D2L already I am a bit biased but I do feel strongly that D2L is strong site for professors and students to use for giving quizzes and posting information about their classes. D2L is more geared towards College students.

Using Zoho

Which of these tools is easier for you to use? Both are pretty easy to use but I could see how this would be cost efficient for a school.
How do the features of each compare? Does one have features that would make you choose it over the other? The features for the most part are the same and very easy to use. No not really
What would the Founding Fathers think? I think the founding fathers would think it was pretty sweet and would save schools and organizations alot of money if more people knew about it.

RSS feed

I could see the use of an RSS feed being useful in my class if I need them to quickly get to my page and I need to quickly get to their page or for them to subscribe to my posts or vise versa. This is helpful because then there can be no excuses for my students to not get my messages or information that may be needed for an assigment. Or they can use it for favorite sports or activities or they can get updates quickly and efficiently without them having to spend alot of time looking for what they need. This is a very useful tool. Thanks for reading, stay classy.
