all,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=979372900-24042006>thank you
so much for the support so far, </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN
class=979372900-24042006></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=979372900-24042006>My
technician is trying to steer me towords using
Sharepoint...</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=979372900-24042006>not having
used either it sort of leaves me at his mercy a bit... I have read through
some of the moodle forums on comapring the two programs, and their seems to be
a definite slant towards moodle being the preferred option (even schools using
sharepoint have integrated moodle into the system, as the collaborative tasks
work much better with a moodle environment.)</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=979372900-24042006>Personally
I love the networking that is going on here, and see that as a huge bonus to
going moodle anyway...</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=979372900-24042006>I guess I'm
just looking for some specifics I can use to argue the
case.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
