Interesante comparativa pues son dos herramientas muy buenas, cada una con sus cosas buenas y sus cosas malas. Por ejemplo, Moodle es más fácil de instalar ya que Dokeos necesta de varias bases de datos y no todos los alojadores las ofrecen. Sin duda la evolución de Moodle ha sido mejor que la de Dokeos pues éste se ha centrado en evolucionar más sus herramientas integradas que la propia plataforma en sí. Sin embargo es más intuitivo (por los iconos sobre todo) Dokeos. Tal vez es un poco más asequible integrar contenidos SCORM en Dokeos que en Moodle.
Tiene más roles Moodle que Dokeos y además puedes fijar qué rles crean otros roles cosa que en Dokeos no te da permisos.
Como pegas a Moodle le ponemos dos:
– No puede crear itinerarios mientras que en Dokeos si.
– Es más rápido Dokeos que Moodle usando mismo SO+HW+BD
Le damos un 7,5 a Moodle (por la falta de itinerarios pero lo compensa con la gran comunidad de desarrolladores) frente a un 7 de Dokeos ya que la evolución de l plataforma se ha visto estancada, pese a esto la interfaz nos parece mas intuitiva.
