Moodle: The free learning platform

“Moodle , the E-learning platform, is one of the most
significant and successful projects in open source. Despite its
success, with hundreds of thousands of people being taught by
courses written in Moodle, as a product it is not well known.

“Moodle logo E-learning comes in many forms. For example math
and vocabulary aids on CD-ROM or screencasts on YouTube are just
two obvious examples from a large range of different options. Less
familiar, since they frequently deal with specialised knowledge,
are thousands of specific learning systems and managed online
courses. Programs such as Blackboard, Sakai, the German Ilias,
Dokeos or Moodle are used to create training platforms for
personnel and to provide computer courses for schools and
universities.

“With well-known educational software, such as the previously
mentioned vocabulary or math programs, teaching – imparting
knowledge, is perhaps the only thing such learning management
systems (LMS) have in common and their structure, methods and
content can vary widely.”
