Offering class sites in both Drupal and Moodle will allow instructors to choose the tool that works best for them. To generalize, Drupal sites offer a greater degree of flexibility in crafting a learning environment -- some users make the case that class sites in Drupal feel more student-centered than class sites in Moodle. This flexibility, however, comes at a cost. From a sysadmin perspective, Moodle is easier to maintain than Drupal. Additionally, some users claim that the focused UI of Moodle is easier for users who are not tech-savvy. The ease of use caveat, however, is directed more at teachers than at students. Students thrive in either Drupal or Moodle.
Within the institution, it is highly likely that some administrative divisions and extracurricular activities will want more functionality, privacy, and/or security than offered by Elgg communities. These groups can do their work in a Drupal site.

Elgg, Drupal, and Moodle all have a role to play in providing tools for learning communities. The example outlined in this post illustrates one way these three applications can work together in an academic setting. At the outset, however, it needs to be stressed that this is one solution chosen from among many. These three applications can be used by different institutions in different ways in response to specific institutional needs.

students and teachers, and content in this area will be largely private. Moodle and Drupal are used to run the class sites.

    I like how elgg community feeds go directly into school-wide site, never a shortage of information or tidbits.
