Moodle

As a teaching assistant at the university, I found Moodle to be an invaluable tool for facilitating communication with students, distributing and collecting class materials, and supporting remote teaching through its “Classroom” feature. We also integrated CodeRunner for automatic exercise correction in Java, this feature was used for the weekly assignments and it proved particularly useful for secure exam sessions. Moodle’s comprehensive features significantly enhanced our teaching and administrative efficiency in such a setting when we have to collect hundreds of assignments each week and grade them.

• All content in one place
• Keep track of previous years material
• Improved communication between students and with staff
• Better feedback on homework upload for students

I have used Moodle in my work over the last 15 years at a variety of organizations. In one case, we had a local instance on our own server, which worked fine. It just requires diligence in upgrading versions.

I have also used Moodle through a Moodle partner for much larger scale deliveries to 20-30 thousand users.

• Moodle has allowed for successful delivery of learning/training with limited hurdles, creating an atmosphere of ease for the user. This keeps branding positive and keeps people coming back.
• Moodle's administration area reduces workload for L&D/Education staff by at least 50% compared to most systems. This allows staff to be more efficient and spend less time fighting with the LMS.
• Moodle makes it easy to create templates for consistency. This keeps designers on track with the branding, which is crucial.

I use Moodle as a Graduate teaching assistant to share materials with students, as well as other activities, submission links for assignments, reading lists, a wide range of medias. Every specific course is organised on a Moodle page in our university, and this is a great tool to organise a Master degree.

• During Covid it ended up being essential
• Allows to track work from home efficiently
• allows students to expand some of their interest beyond class

I've been using Moodle for more than two years, and I'm happy of it. Its continual development and capacity to provide a paid rollout demonstrate how much this learning management system has advanced over time. Look no farther than Moodle if you're just beginning your adventure into e-learning and want an LMS that is simple to use, free, and has a vibrant community.

• Oversized and bulky user interface
• There is no option to automatically create user accounts (self-register)
• The program lacks a fully working mobile application like those provided by competing learning management systems like Blackboard and Canvas.
