Teams Vs Moodle Vs Google Classroom?
I work at a school and Ms Teams for Education is definitely a viable option for providing blended learning. I would like to hear more from tertiary institutions. Do you think that Ms Teams is a viable replacement for Moodle? What would you consider as pro's and con's? I know of an institution that would like to start a new private university and they were considering their options for an LMS. So far they are favoring Moodle due to its maturity, rich features and customizability.
While we are on the topic, how would Teams compare with Google Classroom, especially after the new features that are being rolled out? Has anybody moved from Google Classroom to Teams for Education? I don't seem to find a creditable comparison anywhere - especially not a recent one.

I have used Moodle since ~2007 and Teams since 2020.
At our institution I was and am the Moodle superuser, besides being a teacher.
During the Corona pandemic I was sort of my own Teams administrator, superuser and teacher.
I definately know which of Teams and Moodle I prefer - and that's Teams.
Unfortunately I'm obliged to still use Moodle, because collegues have decided so. For pedagogical reasons, but I'm sure it's for their own reasons. They don't want to learn new ways to work.
I experienced that I became a better version of myself as a teacher with Teams than I could and can be with Moodle.
What also is a fact is that collegues that don't know anything about Teams and in reality only a little about Moodle have had their say.
Moodle is from the "zeroes" and updates only coming at a slow pace, while Teams have evolved rapidly during the pandemic - and since. It's alive!
