Hi,
welcome to the community and thanks for your interest in Forma. Well, to begin with, take a look at FormaLms web site, http://www.formalms.org/features.html

Forma has a different "logical" architecture, if compared to Moodle. To summarize in a sentence, I would say that
- Forma framework is more modern
- Forma users (students) are presented with more or less the same features as Moodle, albeit in a cleaner way
- Forma administrators can probably do much more with less clicks and less hassle than in Moodle
- Moodle's community and Moodle's number of plugins is uncomparably larger than Forma's, but Moodle is community- and university-oriented, while Forma is corporate-oriented and stakeholder-driven
- this means that you never know which Moodle plugin work or not, for what version etc.
- Forma's development roadmap is driven by real-world company needs, and the innovations are tested and implemented for real customers before being released
- If you participate in this community, you'll see that it's mainly populated by companies, consulting companies, developers. The discussion level and its depth is quite good

I will PM you with a yet-to-be-released version of Forma Presentation, with more detailed explanations and screenshots.

Hi Simon,
this is the best graphical and logical representation that we already have available. Hope it's enough
