Students can access homework online and upload assignments. Similar to programs used in college level classes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

Finding a balance and accessibility restricted to only when I had access to computers. Probably more beneficial to teachers teaching grades 4-12. Not as user friendly for younger children. Time it takes to create assignments is an adjustment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Nice Learning Management System"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Open LMS?

Moodle is a really nice learning management system for our online learning. We also use moodle for supplemental material in our face to face classes. The grade book is one of my favorite things about moodle. It allows me to create quizzes and homework assignments and easy grade them and quickly gets grades back to the students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

The only issues I have is with uploading large files to my course, but I believe its because we don't have a lot of space and my video files are too big. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Open LMS:

Moodlerooms can be a wonderful management system for small institutions and large ones too! Definitely give it a try if this is something you are looking for. The support for Moodlerooms is also very good. They are quick to respond back with helpful information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Open LMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to post content and have students take quizzes and complete assignments and then being able to quickly grade them has been a great experience for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Moodlerooms changed how I teach"

5/5

What do you like best about Open LMS?

The ease of communication with students and parents. I can keep parents more actively involved in their child's education. It also gives the students an easy-to-use online platform for a large amount of their work, which is important right now as education and technology are becoming coterminous. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

I struggled at first with balancing the online work with the teacher-led activities of the classroom. I felt obligated to make EVERYTHING happen on Moodle...and that wasn't working for me. I have since found a better balance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It was an enjoyable way to connect with a slightly complex learning curve. "

3/5

What do you like best about Open LMS?

I like the ability to communicate with others and work through discussion boards. Communication is always a good thing with out work, but it can sometimes get overly complicated. Especially when we work with people who are less familiar with modern technology, it ended up being a crutch more than a useful tool for our purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

I dislike that so much had been relegated to the program. Though it is good for assignments and projects to be listed, many users do not post them. Unfortunately as well, when information is so readily accessible to everyone, it become more and more difficult to "shut off" work. With less efficient professors, students had to frequently check their assignments to see if they were posted. If not correctly set up, quizzes can also be overly objective in their responses. This is more operator error, though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Open LMS:

It seems to be the best option for us, but keep in mind that online learning and collaborating is often more difficult than face-to-face learning styles. The program itself is great, but administrators need to ensure teachers are using it well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Open LMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is good to be able to post projects and work on them together. When we had assignments that were due, it was nice to be able to collaborate together, think about possible solutions, and even post or work with the moodle program. However, some would have issues uploading. Ultimately, graders ended up printing everything out anyways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
