Moodlerooms

Mt. SAC migrated from Blackboard to Moodlerooms Learning Management System in 2012. See more information on the Moodlerooms Resources Page

Question:  Is Moodlerooms the same as Moodle? 
Answer:  No.   Moodle is the "core" of Moodlerooms, but Moodlerooms adds their "value" components around Moodle - and also hosts the site for Mt.SAC.
Why is this important?  Some features/add-ins in Moodle are not compatible with Moodlerooms.
