Ask ChatGPT: Which LMS is better: Moodle or Canvas?

Via the Perplexity app

Moodle and Canvas are two popular learning management systems (LMS) used in educational institutions. Both platforms have their strengths and weaknesses, and the choice between them will depend on the specific needs and requirements of the institution or organization.

One of the main advantages of Moodle over Canvas is its flexibility. Moodle is an open-source LMS, which means that it can be customized and modified to meet the specific needs of an institution or organization. Moodle supports more than 12 types of assessments, and there are multiple grading alternatives available to grade different assessments in different ways. Moodle also has an optional, fully-branded mobile app. However, Moodle has limited support, and organizations will need to contact their Moodle partner for additional support.

In contrast, Canvas is a closed-source LMS, providing fewer opportunities for customization. Canvas is equipped with various in-built features, but it is less adaptable than Moodle when it comes to personalizing the platform. Canvas LMS offers more robust collaboration features, and it has more robust support than Moodle. However, Canvas can be more expensive than some other LMS platforms, while Moodle is free to use as it is an open-source platform.

Ultimately, the best LMS platform for an institution or organization is the one that meets its specific needs in the most effective way, regardless of cost.

Just Say No to Vehicle Gun Holsters

My response when someone in a vehicle group I am in made a post asking for recommendations for a vehicle-mounted handgun holster system:

North Fork Bridge Banded Gneiss

Walk down the trail from the northwest corner of the bridge over the North Fork of the American River in Northern California, continue along the river for a short distance, and you will be rewarded with some large boulders consisting of Banded Gneiss rock, showing amazing multi-colored stripes along their length. Do some research on this rock type before your visit, so you understand and appreciate this breathtaking natural art! When I first stumbled upon these rocks, I was so struck by the unexpected natural beauty that my automatic reaction was to tear up in wonder and appreciation. I think you might have the same memorable experience. Enjoy!
