Comparison with Moodle
---------------------------
First of all, although Moodle has provided with a great learning system, it does not solve all the problems for teachers and students. Many-a-times, students or teachers are looking forward to engage in a group problem solving exercise which is often impromptu. It seems a lot of work to start up a course page or assignment page, asking all the students to log into Moodle using Browse; start the course and search for the newly made assignment or post. Afterwards everybody will need to submit this problem as assignment individually. The act of collaboration is missing here. Apart from this, there is always this chance of not having internet in the first place at the school.
Educational toolkit does not require either server or internet to start working with. Just make up a problem and share it with others and start working on it together.
Thus, the proposed activity is better than Moodle in the following ways:
1. It promotes real-time group collaboration.
2. Does not require internet/school server.
3. Is native to sugar and does not require students/teachers to go through a lot of steps before accessing it.
4. Discourages the assignment/test feedback cycle kind of routine.
It also has the following disadvantages as compared to Moodle:
1. This is a new project while Moodle has lots of developers and a very healthy community.
2. Moodle caters to students who do not have xos but other computers. It will need to be made specifically for other computers.
