I found Edmodo to be easy to use, but not as versatile as the Pearson Learning Studio. I was unable to find a audio recording ability on Edmodo, while I have used an audio recording system on Pearson. In honesty, I have become concerned about the far reaching control Pearson seems to have in education, it is hard to not defend it against other products. I know many groups of teachers have attempted to use Edmodo as a communication/idea sharing forum, but without an instructor to push the conversation, the forum went unused after the primary question/answer session. I appreciate the Pearson Learning Studio (used by the university) allows for easy a.udio and written responses and attachment and access to many other formats. This allows for the instructor to reach a variety of learning types, whether learners prefer writing, audio, or even drawn output, Pearson allows all of these formats to be turned in. These affordances support a variety of learning styles.
