MoodleWhat is Moodle?

Moodle is a Course Management System (CMS), often used for remote or distance education, that can be used by educators in regular schools to add an “online” component to their students’ learning environments.

Course Management Systems, also known as Learning Management Systems (LMS) and Virtual Learning Environments (VLE), are accessed using a web browser.

Using such a system, students can access class handouts, web sites, videos and presentations, contribute to class forums, keep learning journals, submit assignments, etc. Teachers can use Moodle to grade assignments, keep gradebooks, monitor and contribute to forums, and so on.

Moodle is open source software, and is installed on a server on your school network. (see moodle.org).
