Moodle vs. Blackboard vs. D2L

I think the idea that all companies have is good. But I do like that Moodle is more customizable and free, assuming you have the server and other tools needed to host it. Blackboard on the other hand is rather expensive and less customizable. D2L is cheaper than Blackboard but still not as customizable.

On the other hand Blackboard seems to have more features that can really allow teachers to work on line. While D2L is right behind them. Then theres Moodle which is customizable but doesn't seem to have some of applications of the others like blackboards good document and grading. But it has the potential to be able to modify it so you could possibly have those features.

Overall I'm used to D2L because we use it at SCSU but I do like the modification and customization that Moodle allows, let alone the price and the extra tools Black board offers.
