I am currently testing this new Learning Management Software. Looks very promising. You can sign up for free at schoology.com.

What is pretty cool about this one is that it's platform agnostic (it doesn't matter if you use iOS, Android, or MAC or PC). The other nice thing is the interface is light years ahead of moodle, and even edmodo.

Try it out.
