Extent to which this article takes a social informatics approach to the research study: This article and study takes a social informatics approach in the way it fully lays out the field of the ICT, in this case is Blackboard and Moodle. From there he points out in a classified manor the facts of each software and takes it further by applying the S.I. approach by looking at the factors in the eyes of a learner and an instructor. From there after reading these points and classifications we can see what’s missing from each other, what sets them apart and ultimately. only by doing this can you see the diciplinary field, uses and negatives, as well as consequences from picking just one of the two learning systems. It even looks at feedback, progress, cost and other outside factors that intertwine with the ICT in discussion.
