"Moodle: powerful and flexible but have an FTE ready to be an admin"

5/5

What do you like best about Moodle?

If you can imagine it, you can probably do it in Moodle! The availability of thousands of plugins means you can adapt your instance of Moodle to just about any need, and the cost of Moodle (free to self-host) means you can spend money on some of the paid plugins. Moodle supports experiential learning models, repetitive practice models, competency-based assessment, points-based grading, learner-centered adaptive teaching, and more. Assessment mechansims include reflective journals, quizzes with dozens of closed- and open-ended question types, discussion forums, shared-knowledge activities (wikis, databases, and glossaries), and multiple, easy-to-integrate plugins from courseware providers and other third parties. Permissions are adaptable at all levels, including highly granular cases. In the U.S., the primary Moodle host (MoodleUS) provides prompt customer support, and works with clients at all levels (from academic adminsitration to engineers).

What do you dislike about Moodle?

The flexibillity can make standardization hard to achieve, which can be confusing to some learners. Even if your instance is vendor-hosted, you will want at least 1/2 FTE allocated to administer Moodle at your institution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?

Moodle allows faculty to more efficiently allocate time so they spend less time grading low-Bloom's assessments and more time engaging students in deeper dialogue and assessment.

Moodle provides ways for faculty members to easily share resources among themselves, and from one semester to another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
