EduTech Service Description – Moodle
What is Moodle ?
Moodle is an open-source course management system (CMS) or e-learning platform. Moodle is widely used around the world by universities, schools, teachers, corporations and community organizations with a substantial user base consisting of 46,777 registered sites with 33,517,533 users in 3,311,030 courses (as of April, 2010).
Moodle is designed to allow educators to create effective online learning communities through the interaction of teachers, students, parents and schools and districts. More than technology for technology’s sake, the modular design of Moodle allows course administrators to provide anything from simple assignments and documentation to on-line evaluation and assessment.
