Moodle for a smarter noodle **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2017 **What do you like best about Moodle?** Moodle allows for seamless access for students and professors on an academic level. Professors can post homework assignments, recorded class lectures, assigned readings, quizzes, and more, all accessible by students on their own time. Students can contact professors directly through moodle without leaving the site. **What do you dislike about Moodle?** At times, Moodle is slow and unreliable. **Recommendations to others considering Moodle:** I haven't used moodle in a few year, however I do feel like their are better available programs out there, other than moodle. **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Moodle quickly connects professor to their students and allows students to take an active front row seat in their learning journey. ### 6. Positive experience using the learning management tool Moodle **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 13, 2017 **What do you like best about Moodle?** Moodle makes it easy to seamlessly make categories. Students can access the necessary information and submit directly online. **What do you dislike about Moodle?** The actually aesthetics of the Moodle page could be improved. It also could be more intuitive for new users **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am able to communicate and grade students in one platform. It is beneficial to be able to upload links and resources to one one as well. ### 7. Good tool for interacting with students **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Annemarie C. | Faculty, Higher Education, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 15, 2017 **What do you like best about Moodle?** Easy to set up weekly learning objectives. Can include discussions/forums, required reading, presentations, links to videos and other materials, and quizzes. Additionally, students can easily upload assignments. It is a great organizational tool. Students can log onto Moodle from anywhere to access the weekly schedule. Moodle also has a Quickmail option for emailing one or more students. **What do you dislike about Moodle?** Course set-up is not 100% intuitive. I often need to access the help option. Also, cannot copy text formatting from one week to the next. For example, if I copy text that is bolded and a larger size, it will paste using the default formatting which is not bold and a smaller size. **Recommendations to others considering Moodle:** I prefer Moodle over Blackboard. **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Moodle saves time by keeping me organized. I no longer need to refer to my syllabus or search my email looking for student assignments. Everything is in one place. ### 8. Excellent for delivering course content to a multitude of students **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 17, 2017 **What do you like best about Moodle?** Moodle allows me to easily deliver course materials to my students. But most importantly, it helps me manager assignment submissions and manage workflow for marking them. **What do you dislike about Moodle?** Sometimes, the ability to customize options is not easily visible. However, I believe this is addressed in newer versions. Another issue is that assessment weights cannot be customized for individual students. For example, if a student misses a test and the weight is to be transferred to the next test, Moodle cannot record that (or at least, I have not found a way to do so). **Recommendations to others considering Moodle:** Try implementing a practice course. I believe Moodle.org has one that potential users can try. Also check out the Moodle support forums, as you will see what users are doing with Moodle, the trouble they are having with Moodle, and the level of support form Moodle itself in addressing issues and proposing new features. The online community is very helpful, and you can typically get an answer within hours. **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am the course director for several large courses in university. In an average term, I am responsible for the administration of >1000 students. Moodle helps manage and streamline my workflow with students, teaching assistants, and instructors. ### 9. Very Powerful Tool - Does Require a Learning Curve **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2017 **What do you like best about Moodle?** This tool has been invaluable for my school. We have been able to use it as an all in one student portal. **What do you dislike about Moodle?** It is a little difficult to install / keep up with. Once you use it for awhile, it becomes easier. **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is a great all in one tool for student / teacher interaction. ### 10. Takes some getting used to **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mara R. | Spanish Teacher, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2017 **What do you like best about Moodle?** Moodle is fairly easy to access, and more or less simple to navigate. **What do you dislike about Moodle?** There are many spelling errors in the program due to its origin in another country. The navigation appears to be backwards of what we're used to here in the US. **Recommendations to others considering Moodle:** Explore its options before diving in to participate or create a class. Many of the options seem to be simple, but work in an "inverted" way. For example, the "breadcrumbs" at the top of each navigation page don't go in the order in which the pages are navigated. They, many times, are either backwards or in a seemingly inverted order. Also, there are many spelling errors in the site due to translation. **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use Moodle for district-wide professional development classes. It's easy to coordinate with teachers in other buildings without too much extra effort. ### 11. Helpful organization and communication. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 15, 2017 **What do you like best about Moodle?** Easy user interface and intuitive for the user. **What do you dislike about Moodle?** Not sure? It could integrate with other software a little better, like podio or basecamp. **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Making communication easier and smoother. ### 12. I use Moodle to teach online courses. **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 01, 2018 **What do you like best about Moodle?** The best thing about Moodle is that it is open source and available to everyone. **What do you dislike about Moodle?** Moodle does not have as much functionality for sharing as some other LMS software. **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Moodle allow us to teach online course at a reasonable price. ### 13. Moodle learning management system **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 29, 2017 **What do you like best about Moodle?** Moodle is my go-to product for learning management in the business classroom. I use this for assignments, document management, and grading. It is instructor friendly and powerful. **What do you dislike about Moodle?** The setup of labels could be more versatile, and it would be nice to have assignments over 100% **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** I manage all my courses with Moodlle. ### 14. Should Be Used for All College Courses **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 21, 2015 **What do you like best about Moodle?** I liked how easy it was to use as a student. I liked being able to see my grades as the semester progressed, which also helped to follow along to make sure all of my assignments got turned in. It was also very easy to upload documents to turn assignments or sources into the professors. The ability to access all of my classes on one simple home page was great; as was the ability to change the order of the classes on the page and the number of classes shown. **What do you dislike about Moodle?** That at the end of the semester, the class didn't automatically leave from my homepage. I understand that teachers have to close the class or remove from the class or whatever it is, so it's not necessarily Moodle's fault, but it was a little irritating. On the other hand, it was useful to be able to go back and look at previous classes. **Recommendations to others considering Moodle:** If most people at your school/college/university use Moodle, use it too! I know that sometimes learning something new is time consuming, but for students taking multiple classes of varying degrees of difficulty, it makes their life so much easier to be able to access all of their classes on one site. For students I would recommend just playing around with it when you first use it - there's more you can than you think (like finding classmate's emails, which is handy for group projects.) **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** I used it as a student. For some classes it was mandatory to use it - that was the only way you could get documents from the teacher and also the only way to turn things in. I think the biggest benefits are that it was easy to use on my end, and that all of the resources for each class were all in one place and I didn't have to go to 12 different websites for one class. ### 15. Great Interface for Students **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 17, 2018 **What do you like best about Moodle?** Easy to navigate between courses. Notifications are helpful (on the site and email) **What do you dislike about Moodle?** File management/downloads could be improved **Recommendations to others considering Moodle:** Great for online/distance ed. students (even at a master's level or above). Good for managing communication, schedules, etc. **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Using primarily as a student currently. ### 16. Moodle is a Great Resource! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 17, 2018 **What do you like best about Moodle?** I like the ability to monitor and add classes and view the students' performances. **What do you dislike about Moodle?** Nothing, this was a better class management system for us. **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Assisting students by allowing them to complete evaluations and retrieve their class certificates via Moodle. ### 17. Moodle is Awsome **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Aaron H. | Systems Administrator and Web Design Specialist, Higher Education, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 09, 2017 **What do you like best about Moodle?** Its free without the hassle that usually brings, that is number one for any business. Second is it is solid and robust. It is a system that can handle any amount of users and can be scaled for huge numbers of students with the right hardware supporting it. From a single high school teacher to a entire university, this system can scale and is easy to operate. **What do you dislike about Moodle?** Sometimes 3rd party plugins are not as good as one would hope, but this is also what makes Moodle great is the 3rd party developer community. **Recommendations to others considering Moodle:** Get it and use it, it is highly adaptable for most training environments. **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Cost and functionality. Moodle is able to directly link with my registration system that handles payments and controls access as well as course creation. This means only those who should have access have it. ### 18. It’s not blackboard **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 10, 2018 **What do you like best about Moodle?** Fast, easy to use, all of the standard functionality is there. **What do you dislike about Moodle?** It has basic features, moodle is used at our school and does not have the robust features of blackboard. **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Document hosting, student communication ### 19.

Time saver . ### 20.

Keeping students on-track. ### 21. Number One in Online Learning **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2017 **What do you like best about Moodle?** Site is never down. Several options to customize content **What do you dislike about Moodle?** only one file can be uploaded for an assignment.

Moodle system **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in E-Learning | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 06, 2017 **What do you like best about Moodle?** Very simple and easy to use. Allows me to manage users effectively and simply. **What do you dislike about Moodle?** Limited functionality and can become quite 'clunky'. Moodle is best suited to schools and colleges rather than elearning **Recommendations to others considering Moodle:** If you are a large organisation with a simple need, then moodle is perfect. Otherwise, you will need an LMS that provides better functionality i.e reporting etc **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Saving organisations huge costs by implementing a simple and effective Moodle that provides grades and tracking. ### 23. Glitchy **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2017 **What do you like best about Moodle?** I like he idea of Moodle and it is a great collaboration tool. **What do you dislike about Moodle?** The aoftware has a lot of issues at the college where I taught. For example I created a test but it completely disappeared for half of my students. Often I would save documents only to have them stolen by the Moodle ghost. **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** I used this while teaching an online class ### 24. Quizzes are great! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 16, 2017 **What do you like best about Moodle?** I love the Moodle Quiz feature, which allows students to take quizzes online. It has made my work with students a lot easier, as I am no longer grading by hand, wasting paper and time. I can just log on and do everything through the Moodle website, including grade tracking! **What do you dislike about Moodle?** The interface can be difficult to work within. Sometimes it takes a few clicks to get something to work, or sometimes you have to log back in if it gets glitchy. Overall, it doesn't really bother me too much. **Recommendations to others considering Moodle:** Spend lots of time playing around with Moodle, as it takes time to learn the interface and the quirky things it can do **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** The quiz feature could easily be adapted into a survey for businesses. ### 25.

Moodle for free??? **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tyler F. | K-12 Solutions Engineer, Information Technology and Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 31, 2016 **What do you like best about Moodle?** I use Moodle at a community college that I teach at. I have taught on Moodle for the past 8 yeas, and it has been an enjoyable experience. I like that all of Moodle is extremely customizable. The platform can be tailored to fit the need of each individual instructor within the school, as well as different add ons to support learning. I also like that it is open source, so as new tools are developed by individuals, they can be shared elsewhere. I currently enjoy using the sharing cart. This is a tool that copies content from one course to another. The sharing cart will allow you to copy to as many courses as you want, with the ability to select the exact location in the course you want the item to live. Also, the testing features are top notch. I can set user exceptions for testing, as well as enhanced due dates, restrictions, and permissions. **What do you dislike about Moodle?** In the past, I have heard that Moodle is "clunky". I feel like it has the ability to be clunky, but if you take the time to fully support it then it has a nice feel to it as you can customize everything about it. The only negative I see is the need to self host the platform. You need to have your own servers and the ability to understand a software deployment in order to make Moodle a success. **Recommendations to others considering Moodle:** Make sure you have the in-house staff to make the implementation a success Update the themes to fit your need Look at other providers who might host it for you. **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** The school needed a Learning Management System in order to bring courses online. Moodle solved the problem while not costing money. ### 27. good LMS for college campus **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2017 **What do you like best about Moodle?** easy to use, good accessibility policy and privacy policy **What do you dislike about Moodle?** less options than D2L and Canvas in terms of personalization **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** taking a course online ### 28.

Moodle helped us streamline our knowledge checks **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Telecommunications | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 10, 2017 **What do you like best about Moodle?** Noodle was easy to use, both as a test administrator and as an end user. **What do you dislike about Moodle?** I honestly can't remember anything I disliked **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** We used Moodle to replace our homegrown testing system. It made it easier to set up assessments, eliminated the need to host our own, and had all the options we needed. ### 30. MOODLE just gets better! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Peter V. | Senior Management Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 26, 2016 **What do you like best about Moodle?** I've been recommending MOODLE as the standard for open source course management systems for several years. I'm also a user, though not using the very latest version. As a non-technical person, I've found MOODLE easy to install and configure, easy to use to build courses and great in helping to assess knowledge, through the in-built quiz engine. Let's be clear, though, this is a course management system, NOT an application for creating e-learning. It;s a library, in which categories and courses can be created, holding documents in almost any form (including audio/video/PDF etc). It also makes it easy to create collaborative tools (e.g. course forums). It does this very well indeed, and I believe that a new user (course designer) could start working creating courses in MOODLE with very minimal training. MOODLE has been going for years, and has (probably) the largest global support of any CMS. Much of that support network is informal, though there are MOODLE experts offering added value services (hosting, support etc) that are worth considering. **What do you dislike about Moodle?** In older versions, customising the rather bland look/feel of MOODLE has been through trial and error. Later versions do seem to make simple customising (changing colours, adding a logo) easier, though I do not know if this improvement applies to all themes or just some (you'll have to find that out yourself!). That said, anyone with experience of developing CCS (cascading style sheet) files should be able to work out most theme customisations. **Recommendations to others considering Moodle:** If you have PHP experience in-house, deploy using your internal IT support. Otherwise, consider a third-party vendor (lots available at moodle.com) Small installations are possible through Fantastico or Softlicious automated script installers, though using these rarely gives the optimised configuration (but usually sufficient to be able to demonstrate and use MOODLE with small numbers of enrolled delegates/students). Don't underestimate the amount of bandwidth the Chat module takes. I recommend not using this module following a Fantastico or Softlicious automated script installation. **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** MOODLE is open source so "free" (though use of added value suppliers creates cost) - so one of the major benefits of MOODLE is cost reduction. However, taking this as a given, I have found MOODLE to be able to change the way organisations think of e-learning, and adap current programmes to include pre and post-course work through MOODLE that engages and then continues to engage (and assess) learning and it's application. I've also used MOODLE as part of the recruitment process, whereby we encourage new candidates to work through some context-setting materials and do some entry quizzes prior to the interview. This has helped noend in terms of enabling early filter-ins and filter-outs of candidates. ### 31.

My favorite feature is that it works with Examview test software. **What do you dislike about Moodle?** Sometimes the system can be hard to figure out exactly how to complete certain tasks. **Recommendations to others considering Moodle:** You will need a place to host Moodle. **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** We needed a free online learning management system. We love that it is free and hosted through our local district. ### 39. There are much better options **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 25, 2016 **What do you like best about Moodle?** Nothing. It is awful. Not user friendly a--nd I'm a long time user of Sakai system, which is VERY bloated, but Moodle is worse! **What do you dislike about Moodle?** Everything. It is clunky, bloated, time consuming, not user-friendly at all, and does not do what I need it to do. I want a clear grade book screen, but I cannot get that. It does not show points total IN the grade book, you have to change screens to see a total. I cannot grade word documents in the program--I have to download each and every one! Blackboard is SOO much easier and better organized. The grade book in Blackboard is intuitive. In Moodle, I cannot see what needs to be be graded from one common place. Instead, you have to go into each and every class separately, grade each item (by download cause you cannot grade in the program) then upload each single file back to the student. When I create assignments, there are 3 (!!!) places where I have to designate dates open/closed! I hate using Moodle....I will work diligently to influence higher ups to abandon it and use Blackboard or Desire2Learn, both of which are clean and much more usable. **Recommendations to others considering Moodle:** Don't. Avoid it like the plague. Use Blackboard or Desire2learn--both of which are much easier to use. **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** no benefits ### 40. Many benefits to customize and contain necessary information for classroom environment! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in E-Learning | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 28, 2016 **What do you like best about Moodle?** We use Moodle with a multitude of our clients, who all have various needs and requirements, so the ease of customization is great! It is also very intuitive to navigate for both our employees and our clients (teachers and students at colleges). **What do you dislike about Moodle?** It can be a little difficult for a first time professor to navigate the Moodle environment, without access to a skilled resource who is more familiar. In general, I dislike the way to group/search for students. As it is now, you have to search for students within a particular course, rather than pulling all students from all courses at a given time. **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are able to provide meaningful content and a system for our professors to update their courses and curriculum. ### 41. Great LMS, my favorite LMS that I've used so far **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Loreli S. | Course Production Specialist, Publishing, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 13, 2016 **What do you like best about Moodle?** The layout and design of the LMS is very clean and appealing to the eye. It is very easy to organize course content, the tools are very easy to use, and it offers a lot of ability to add new and custom tools/applications/LTI's to your courses. **What do you dislike about Moodle?** The gradebook has some items that come standard and are not able to be removed, which have been requested to be removed by our faculty members. **Recommendations to others considering Moodle:** It is a great product, easy to use/build, and the students using Moodle have had very little complains when it comes to aspects of the LMS. **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using this platform to design and build courses. ### 42. A Solution to Communication with Professors **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Zeke K. | Server and Bartender, Hospitality, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2016 **What do you like best about Moodle?** Moodle is the medium that allows for a lot of different actions. Teachers can customize their pages and add content for their classes. A big feature of the site is the ability to post grades and also make assignments with specific deadlines. Teachers can pick a specific time frame when a paper or project is due after that time Moodle will not allow students to upload documents. For the students, it allows both contacting other students as well as the professor. **What do you dislike about Moodle?** The user interface isn't very friendly and can be boring at times. I have used it for five years and each time the software gets updated it seems to add little in terms of features. **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Moodle solves the problem of communication. Teachers and students can contact each other effortlessly and teachers don't have to worry about students turning in assignments late because the site does not allow for this.. ### 43. Great tool for teachers **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Robert R. | Science Teacher, Education Management, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 23, 2016 **What do you like best about Moodle?** Moodle allows you to give your students (or colleagues) access to documents from anywhere they have internet, it allows you to create review activities and games for your students and has excellent quiz and testing capabilities. **What do you dislike about Moodle?** Getting use to editing in Moodle can be tricky. The quiz and testing software do not allow you to download a printable copy of quizzes or tests, which can be problematic if there is limited internet capability. **Recommendations to others considering Moodle:** It can be time consuming to start the set-up, but the time is paid back ten-fold **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** The problems solved include students having access to documents outside of school and the grading of quizzes and tests made easier. ### 44. Solid LMS but a bit challenging to customize for usability **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 05, 2017 **What do you like best about Moodle?** I like that my students can see their grades and that I can post assignments relatively easily. There are many options for different types of grading systems. It's open source so apparently it gives some cost savings to blackboard. **What do you dislike about Moodle?** The interface is a bit wonky. I always want to edit course material and never just view the site but there is no way to set edit mode the default view. **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** We need an online LMS. We seem to have saved some money by switching from Blackboard. ### 45. Moodle moods **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Betsy L. | English Instructor, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 10, 2017 **What do you like best about Moodle?** It's incredibly user friendly. I've used other LMS; moodle is second to none **What do you dislike about Moodle?** There are a lot of features I don't use, and that can be a tad cumbersome **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Efficiently in general has increased ### 46. Its a must if you are an educational organisation **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Oil & Energy | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 17, 2017 **What do you like best about Moodle?** there is a plugin for anything you want to do **What do you dislike about Moodle?** not very easy to install, setup and make it live. **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** providing technical education ### 47. So customizable and easy to use **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lauren W. | Graphic Web Specialist, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 01, 2016 **What do you like best about Moodle?** I worked with Moodle for many years as my learning management system when I taught online for a virtual school in Pennsylvania. It is so user-friendly both on the student and instructor side. It is fully customizable and free. Or at least it was when I used it. **What do you dislike about Moodle?** Moodle, at the time, did not carry the customer support as some of the bigger names like Blackboard. That may have changed in recent years. It was also very easy to mess things up with bad HTML code, so you need to know what you were doing. **Recommendations to others considering Moodle:** If you are a smaller school, or need something that you can customize to every extent, Moodle is wonderful. For larger schools that may require a stronger technical support team, you may want to consider something that has a more widespread reputation and can offer the support. **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Moodle was a fantastic solution to my former employer's learning management system needs. It was free and we were able to make it exactly what we wanted. I found the students were able to navigate easily and it wasn't very hard for teachers to learn how to make it unique to their classes and upload lessons. ### 48. Moodle review **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Somaroy G. | General Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 09, 2016 **What do you like best about Moodle?** Flexibility, responsive design, very quick turn around time for updates. Moodle offers easy extensibility and adaptability to institutional needs being an open-source software. Availability of numerous plugins from the Moodle community for almost every business need to implement a Learning Management System **What do you dislike about Moodle?** Nothing in specific. Integration with LTI tools **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Integrated Learning Management System for Higher education and corporates. ### 49. Good for teacher organization of a class if the school doesn't already provide a platform **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 12, 2016 **What do you like best about Moodle?** Moodle has a great template for putting up the core material for class, whether it be middle school, high school, or college level. Forums and assignment submissions make the transition to paperless assignments an ease. Also allows for a single location to find all course material. **What do you dislike about Moodle?** The site does require its own set of credentials. This means that if your school or university already has a system in place through their own website, then it is unnecessary to implement. Sometimes navigation between courses can be a pain, but pinning them to your account can alleviate some of this. **Recommendations to others considering Moodle:** If your school has a well designed system in place, this is unnecessary to use. **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Provides a platform to teachers to put up course material and to act as an aid. Helps teachers do their job and overall increase the performance of their students. The benefit of this is increased student performance which in turn produces more students interested in the school. ### 50. Versatile and reliable LMS with strong community support **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Russell W. | Senior Learning Designer, Higher Education, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 19, 2016 **What do you like best about Moodle?** Moodle has a strongly supportive user-community that provide solutions for an enormous range of practical teaching and elearning purposes. **What do you dislike about Moodle?** A typical Moodle screen has many interface elements that are not part of the lesson: it is easy for learners to be distracted from the content. **Recommendations to others considering Moodle:** Join the Moodle community at moodle.org for fantastic support from users in many roles, organisations, countries, languages. **What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Delivering course content and assessment activities to classes of university students, running discussion and social construction of knowledge, collecting assignments and online examinations, grading and distributing feedback, analysing cohort performance. ## Moodle Discussions -
