 Mainor & TalTech

Today,I will talk about Moodle platform of Mainor and TalTech, what's their difference, which is more user friendly, easy-to-use, and why.

Before I start to discuss them, I would like to mention, that they are completely different in usage.


Mainor

I had experience of Moodle.eek... usage. At first it seems pretty familiar, like TalTech have, but with different design, and button location. Logic is pretty similar, and the code is written in php.

But, when you logged in, you will amazed, what kind of design they had, text is black/white, white background, without any styles "not css background-color/background-image, just context, not in programmer sense :)". The directories, and how to find them in one click, is not a fast action, sometimes, when you want to find your course, you have to wait for "two days" because, yesterday, there wasn't such course, but today is a new day, and somehow, now you are able to see your course. 

Periodically, yours submitted work, may somehow been removed, and no-one understood why. But usually, teachers/lecturers write down your previous results, and re-graduate un-submitted assignment.

It's not user-friendly by design, but in short time of usage, you will get used to it, however design will always bumming you out.


TalTech

My daily Moodle platform in usage is Moodle.taltech... Here, design, intuitive interface looks like, as it should be, but probably, I should mention once again, that I have experience only in two platforms, there are a lot of them, and others may be even better than TalTech. In case of TalTech Moodle, I've never suffered with losing my grade and submitted assignment, it was alway easy to find courses, and Im sure that the Tech Support here, is much better than in the mentioned above. In other words, for me, TalTech platform, more suitable, and easy-to-use.


In Conclusion, There is nothing to say, it was 1:0 for TalTech, and I hope "actually I don't care" they will improve their design, and fix, bugs in php code.
