Learning management systems (LMS) or virtual learning environments (VLE) are now becoming commonplace in schools all around the world. With the obvious benefits to teaching and learning it’s no wonder why, but with so much choice available, how does a school choose the right LMS for them? Moodle is the world’s most popular open source LMS, and it’s not hard to understand why. It has been created solely for educators, by educators and that alone puts Moodle in a whole new generation of LMS.
An LMS made for you
An extension of the classroom that takes all the best bits of learning practice, molding them into an easily accessible, anytime, anywhere learning environment. The easy-to-use web-based interface provides teachers and students with access to hundreds of out-of-the-box and teacher created resources, allowing learning to go that extra mile.
Moodle is not your average one-size-fits-all LMS but instead comes with an impressive collection of features, highly adaptable and configurable to suit the needs of your school. As Moodle is open source the usual license fees that many other LMS's command are non-existent, meaning you can stretch your budget that little bit further.
With over 30 million users, a well-connected global community and updates carried out daily, Moodle is rapidly becoming the most widely used school learning management system on the market.
Flexibility!
- Moodle is open source
- Moodle has always and will always remain open source. This does not only mean you don’t have to pay year after year to license Moodle, but also means you are not tied down to a commercial product with the possibility of an increase in price or it’s disappearance when a company collapses. With a large community of users constantly adapting and improving Moodle, your school’s Moodle will remain yours, not only now, but forever.
- Extend your e-learning budget
- The money you save on licensing can be invested in training, allowing your staff to become Moodle experts and enjoy the freedom of being able to update the school’s LMS whenever and wherever they like. This will in turn improve the learning experience for your students.
- Reach beyond the classrom
- Moodle has many tools which allow you to individualize the learning experience for each and every student. Using Moodle you can administer self-marking quizzes, create downloadable resources, find out individual student’s needs through online assessments and much, much more. With access available from any computer with an Internet connection, students, staff and administrators can log on both inside and outside the classroom to extend the learning experience.
