[support] College Website Migrating to Drupal

[Jai]

Even I completely agree with you people. I don't have anything like
Drupal Vs. Moodle. While one is a completely generic solution and
provides a tool box and basic building material for making something,
Moodle is a specific solution to Learning Management Task ONLY.

Definitely I don't have any doubts in the capabilities of Drupal over
here. It must be possible to implement everything we can do using
Moodle (And I am a big fan of Drupal for not being a system geared
towards a specific work, that's why I am here ! ), but that needs
work-arounds. Where Moodle already presents itself as an
out-of-the-box solution for specifically Learning Management Tasks. I
am not talking about making an informative website for the college
using Moodle. It's just the Learning Management part of it, where
teachers can assign student with some work, different kinds of
evaluation schemes, quizes etc. and similarly students can join some
courses, discuss upon some topics. submit assignments given to them
etc.

That's the only reason I am thinking about a solution where Drupal and
Moodle are integrated, having a student sign in only once to get
authenticated on both the systems, where I could have Moodle as an LMS
and Drupal for all other functional requirements.
