It depends on your specific needs

There are some small differences (and, arguably, some big differences) between Drupal and Elgg.
Elgg offers file uploads for each individual user. These uploads can be tagged (comparable to freetagging in 4.7) and these tags generate rss feeds. These file uploads can be subscribed to via rss; using this method, individual users can set up topic-specific podcasts out of the box. Using Elgg's access controls, individual users can create feeds (and blog posts) accessible to anonymous users, site members, or individual members within the site.
Elgg also allows individual users to have their own collection of rss feeds.
Basically, Elgg offers users pretty granular control over what happens to their content (blog posts, file uploads, rss feeds). All content can be categorized/organized via freetagging.
On the other hand, Drupal allows you to create many more types of sites, and to organize site content in a greater variety of ways. Drupal also allows users/site admins to create more effective navigational menus to provide users with more intuitive ways to access content.
There are other differences, but, after a certain point, simply describing these differences gets away from the essential point of your question.
Elgg, Drupal, and Moodle are all great solutions. The *best* solution for your project will be driven by the needs of what you are trying to accomplish.
If you are trying to set up distance learning for a large number of courses, Moodle would be a good app to explore. Alternately, you could look at a cluster of Drupal sites running off one codebase.
If you want to set up a community/social networking piece to your project, then either Elgg or Drupal could fit. In general terms, a Drupal based community will allow you more centralized control over your site and, by extension, your users -- this centralized control comes via the role based access controls, and via the ability to choose what users post what content into what areas.
