About Moodle

Moodle is a learning management system: a platform for running online courses, where teachers organise course material and learners work through it. Because it is open source and self-hostable, a school, university, company or individual can run it on their own server rather than relying on a vendor's cloud.

It suits institutions and educators who want full control over their course platform and its data, and who have the capacity to install and maintain a web application.

Strengths

  • Open source and self-hostable
  • Keeps course data on your own server

Limitations

  • Requires a server and ongoing maintenance
  • More than an individual learner needs
