Moodle: Exploiting your potential with an Effective Digital Learning Tool

5.0 6 months ago

Comments: In my experience I have worked several times with the moodle tool both as a student doing several diploma courses and as a professor at the university where I teach and it is a tool that if you like to investigate, test and experiment with the tools has a very wide field of possibilities.

Pros:

moodle is one of the best among many e-learning tools, as well as being open source and with many customizable features adapting to the teaching models you wish to implement. Another point to highlight is that it has an extensive community that helps to develop teaching ideas being able to adapt the contents in a more efficient way.Highlighting that you can add content created in html and scorm format which allows you to develop better courses.

Cons:

What I liked most about Moodle was its flexibility and customization. The platform allows instructors to tailor it to the specific needs of their course, which makes learning more effective and relevant.Although Moodle offers many useful features, there is also one thing that needs to be worked on is that it has a linear structure which can sometimes cause the student to lose a bit of interest, so the teacher will need to make the content engaging for the student.

Moodle: a time-tested LMS

4.0 4 months ago

Comments: Very positive experience. Prefer it over Blackboard in many features.

Pros:

The course management features from assignment management (due dates, late assignment tracking, plagiarism testing) to test management and grading tools.

Cons:

The performance is sometimes lagging probably because of server contention that might not be related to the software platform itself. But still more evaluation and testing should be considered before assessing the source of the bottleneck.

Moodle for higher studies

5.0 last month New

Comments: As per the overall picture, very useful application for educational institutes and also for the students.

Pros:

Since my university period, this was the application which I used most. As an learning management system, almost all the universities and higher education institutes uses this application. Starting from an online lecture, Moodle can manage assignments distribute course contents, manage assignments etc.

Cons:

It would be better if they can countermize the search box of the application.
