Comparison of e-learning platforms

Abstract

In the past few years many new e-learning platforms have been developed. Each new teaching tool presents its own learning model. How to compare different e-learning platforms and on what basis to choose the most adequate one, is a task of ever increasing importance. This paper presents the results of the comparison of three most popular e-learning platforms (Claroline 1.5.3, CourseWork and WebCT 4.0) with the e-learning platform Virtual Classroom, which was developed at the Polytechnical College in Subotica. The comparison is based on various pedagogical and technical aspects.
