Tools for Deciding on an LMS - (Navigate 3.2.1)

As education continues to expand its offerings into more and more online access for its students, there will be companies out there who will offer more and more choices and tools to facilitate that process.  There are more LMS and CMS vendors now than even six months ago and that trend will likely continue. 

I have chosen to focus on the K12 learner and the top three LMS vendors, according to www.capterra.com, are as follows:

All three of these LMS vendors have a reputation for excellence in what they have to offer.  I have personally had more experience myself with Moodle and have been happy with its user friendliness and accessibility.  

For me personally, I would learn toward choosing Moodle because of my past familiarity and the fact that so many others have utilized it and it has proved effective thus far.  Money is always a tough commodity to access in most systems as most educators can attest.  Moodle, as an open source LMS, has a genuine appeal for educators and administrators as well.
