Both tools provide agenda, forum, chat, conferences, mail and content management tools (e.g. to create tests or quizzes) for every course. They also use the same technology (PhP + MySQL) and manage many languages, including French, English, Spanish, Italian and German. The only differences detected so far, is that moodle allows passwords for files and management of the themes for the interface (new themes creation or use of the themes included in the distribution). There is no mail server configued yet, therefore some of the features mentioned above may not be available.

• Moodle
  
  The "connection" link at the bottom of the test site's homepage allows users to create a new account, to login as guest or to login with an existing user account. The authentication procedure for new users is by default via e-mail, but as the mail server is not configured yet,  the new users should create the account and it'll be manually activated.
