As my University shifted from face-to-face classes I became much more reliant on Moodle and I have now been using their integrations with blackboard collaborate to stream and host video lecturers. This is a must have platform for distance learning despite letdowns with the gradebook.

Pros

Moodle allows me to have a centralized repository of information for my course. I have now placed code, grades, course materials, powerpoints and even video lectures on my course container. My students have no excuses as they know to check Moodle for any course updates.

Cons

The gradebook is hard to use and I am a Computer Science Lecturer. It is difficult to configure and I really wished it were friendlier to non-techies.

Empowering Education with a Feature-Rich Learning Management System

As an educator and e-learning enthusiast, I can confidently say that Moodle is a top-tier learning management system that has revolutionized the way we facilitate online education. Moodle's feature-rich platform, exceptional user experience, and commitment to empowering educators and learners make it an outstanding choice for educational institutions and organizations worldwide. I highly recommend Moodle to anyone seeking an exceptional e-learning platform that empowers educators and learners alike.

Pros

Moodle's user interface is clean, intuitive, and user-friendly. Both educators and learners can navigate the platform effortlessly, allowing them to focus on learning and teaching rather than getting lost in a complex system.

Cons

Moodle seamlessly integrates with various third-party tools, such as video conferencing, content authoring, and plagiarism detection software. This integration streamlines the e-learning process and enhances the overall teaching and learning experience. Yet the option to which we can integrate is still limited.

Not the best for self-learning and online courses

Reviewed on 6/8/2023

Pros

What I like about Moodle is that is one option of learning online. It has different features to track your progress and a very organized dashboard.

Cons

What I liked least about Moodle is that sometimes it is very difficult to use if you are a beginner and it does not explain the features included. The platform crashes many times making it difficult to learn and increase your process.

As a distance learning student, I use this in my university studies but as a secondary school teacher, I was unable to use this with my student. I like to recommend this to my students as well because I found the value of using Moodle when we have to teach from home during the corona pandemic.

Pros

I like the dashboard where we can access our subjects easily. We can get knowledge about out to stand in the different subjects by going through the results. The schedule help and remind us to complete the tasks on time. And also it is very easy to communicate with the lectures and the peers via the software.

Cons

If the time frame alerts work with some reminders, it will be better.
