This document discusses and compares the features of two learning management systems - Edmodo and Schoology. It summarizes that Schoology offers traditional administrative programs for attendance, grading, calendars as well as immediate online discussion forums for students. It has been designed like Facebook to be intuitive for users. Key features include instructional tools, communication, mobile apps, data analytics and seamless integration with other platforms. Teachers can create tests and students can collaborate on assignments and in profiles. While both systems are free, Schoology enables easier school-wide collaboration while Edmodo is simpler to set up individually but lacks some collaboration features.
