Moodle, Modular Object-Orientated Dynamic Learning Environment, also known as an LMS (Learning Management System), CMS (Course Management System) or VLE (Visual Learning Environment. It is a free open-source e-learning software that educators use to create online courses. Moodle is very similar to an LMS but has more standard features. Moodle is used in a variety on contexts such as in education, business settings and training and development. It has become very popular among educators as a tool for creating online websites for their students.
Many institutions use moolde as a platform to conduct fully online courses, this is how it is used in my situation, to delivery content.
I am a university student studying distance education moodle is the online tool that allows me to do so. Each semester I enrol in selected subjects, I log on to my moodle student account and access the course material. Once I click on a subject all the content and information appears allowing me to study at home and at my own pace. The course is broken up into week blocks with links to activities, readings, videos, external resources, power points etc, there are also discussion boards for students and teachers to communicate and discuss topics,wikis as well as a notice board for updates from lecturers. Moodle makes it possible for me to study, it is free, easy to access and very easy to use, it is a project that gives educators the tool to manage and promote learning.
Moodle has created a very informative website it also allows you to look at a demonstration site and watch a moodle presentation. While researching I also found a useful you tube video if you are interested in having a look.
