Instructors and students can post events in the online course calendar of all three applications. Instructors can post announcements and students have a personal homepage with personal records of their grades, email, and system-wide events using all three systems. Only Angel allows access to these systems through RSS feeds. Angel and Blackboard allow students to create private as well as public content and to create a home page for each course. In terms of creating assessments, all applications allow for a wide variety of testing formats, from fill-in-the-blanks and multiple choice to essay questions. Only Blackboard and Moodle allows for calculated answers. Also, Moodle supports a MathML editor for the inclusion of mathematical formulas in both questions and answers in instructor-created examinations.

All systems allow for certain applications to make it easier for instructors to create course content, such as automatically adding assignments to the grading book when they are posted and allowing the instructors to create personalized content for certain students based on group membership. This might include giving additional extra credit or remedial assignments to certain students. There are also default course 'looks.
' Angel and Moodle offer the capability to share content with other instructors and students through a central learning objects repository.

Ultimately, Blackboard's PowerPoint features, its ability to offer test questions that require calculation on online quizzes and to use mathematical notation in discussion forums makes it more useful for a community college that offers a wide range of courses, yet wants all courses to use a similar type of system. Science and social science courses both require mathematical applications, and this would allow students to discuss functions as well as word problems in these disciplines. Generating calculable questions would be useful for instructors. Additionally, PowerPoint has become a critical instructional tool for students and professors, both as a tool for final projects as well as learning. Given how Blackboard is widely used in many universities, gaining familiarity with the application would be useful for community college students who eventually transfer to four-year institutions.
