+ Both LMS willed students to participate actively through an ongoing discussions on a safe space and closed enronment
+ In spe of ner optional ama account login, student's registration wth an email account is highly recommendable fr bot platforms for
easy of use and lessen frustration

their om contrition
+ Learness wl soon ciscover they belong to a communtiy who shave the same interests
+ Both platfoms offer room for specif Assignments and Materials o upload very wel organlzed and provide access to an extensive Libary
