What is Moodle?

Posted on June 28, 2007 | Filed Under Authoring, Custom Development 

Are you interested in trying your hand at developing your own E-Learning course or program?  If so, Moodle is something that you should definitely check out.  Moodle is an open source (meaning free to use) course management system that was designed specifically to be a tool that enables all educators to create effective online courses with relative ease. 

Educators at all levels, from kindergarten through graduate schools, and even in corporate training settings, use Moodle to create high quality, interactive online courseware.  It can be used to develop online courseware for many different instructional settings.  It is scalable to be functional and effective in environments literally ranging from a single user to an entire university. 

Moodle is available in both Windows and Macintosh formats.  There are also a number of plugins and modules that let users customize the software to meet their specific needs.  There are more than 70 different language packs available, so Moodle can easily be adapted for global usage. 

You can download Moodle at http://download.moodle.org/ to get started creating your own courseware today.  While you’re on the site, you can read more about the history of Moodle the software and Moodle the company, which is based in Australia.
