Moodle is a free and open-source learning management system (LMS) designed to help educators create online courses and focus on interaction and collaborative construction of content. It is a course management system that is used for blended learning, distance education, flipped classroom, and other online learning projects. Moodle was developed by Martin Dougiamas and was first released on August 20, 2002. It is written in PHP and distributed under the GNU General Public License. Moodle is used to augment and move existing learning environments online, and it has a number of features that are now considered standard for learning management systems, such as a calendar and gradebook.
Moodle is a flexible, secure, and customizable eLearning platform that can be used for any online teaching or training initiative. It has a wide range of inbuilt features, plugins, and integrations that allow educators to create any course or learning environment they envision. Moodle can be scaled to support organizations of all sizes, from small classrooms to large universities, global companies, and government departments. It is accessible for all learners with integrated content accessibility checkers, text-to-speech tools, and more. Moodle is committed to safeguarding data security, user privacy, and security controls. It can be easily deployed on a private secure cloud or server. Moodle works in over 100 languages, and learners can easily access courses, check their progress, and see what they need to do.
