Shift Happens Part 2: Wiki vs Moodle?

Can I be honest here? I've never heard of a moodle? At least not one that was actually called a moodle...I've been an online student for several years and today i learned something completely new to me. Why they would call a virtual classroom something as wonky (and decidedly NOT scholastic) as a moodle...it just sounds made up...that's just my personal observation.

Apparently, I am not the only person who has some confusion as to what the term "moodle" was all about. I like that several people answered his question again, without being disrespectful or belittling him or her. Several people answered the question, provided definitions for some of the corresponding terms such as SCORM packages, how discussion board work for both wikis and noodles, and even attached links to some of the wikis and noodles that they work with as an example.
It's kind of surprising how willing to share information people are...maybe I shouldn't be that surprised but I am. All we hear about these days is how greedy and mean people can be BUT being people asking honest questions and getting good answers in return makes me hopeful.

For the second part of this week's assignment I created a wiki that you can find here:

Give it a visit and tell me what you think about what I had to say about wikis!
