- Abstract
ICT can be a great opportunity in education and platforms such as Moodle or Edmodo are a good example of this. This article analyzes what are their contents and what tools they offer, which are useful in middle and higher education. Also, we study what perception it has of these two platforms, both teachers and students. In the investigation, we have used content analysis of Moodle and Edmodo and indepth interviews with users (teachers and students). In general, the two platforms are used as a complement to face-to-face teaching, Edmodo individually by teachers and Moodle in a more institutionalized way by educational organizations. In general, users (teachers and students) show their satisfaction with what the platforms provide, although teachers complain about the workload it entails and the students that the platforms are less motivating than other ICT, like the socialmedia, for example. Given the predominant role that ICT currently have in society in general and in teaching in particular, an institutional commitment has to the reformulation of these platforms seems necessary, in order to make better use of their possibilities.
