The version being compared is Moodle version 1.9 and 2.1 to see the revolution of the system. There are about 21 features of Moodle brought up as the finding of this paper, in comparing available e-learning 2.0 systems. It shows how the features in e-learning 2.0 systems cover the lack in earlier version of e-learning system and bring the solid reasons for the full utilization of e-learning 2.0. So, more existing e-learning system will make a move towards the transformation and fully utilize the technology of web 2.0.
