Dew to the nature of the course that I studied; Architectural Technology, we relied heavily on physical interaction with one another in our Department.
Moodle was with no doubt the reference software for Learning Management Systems some years ago.
Pros
. * Plenty of different assessment activities * Can be expanded with different modules * Free/Libre OpenSource Software * Great community and user-base
Cons
* It seems to be that it has been somewhat outdated in terms of teaching paradigm: each "resource" is independent of the others (as opposed to knowledge, which is always interconnected to other knowledges and skills) * Navigation is somewhat clumsy. * Some modules are promising but, in fact, really limited (wikis, lessons) * Some limitations on grading (E.g. adding extra score) * Not Responsive friendly

Moodle, allows to offer an exchange space in activities for learning, these can be online or as a support for content management without using the web interface, also through the platform you can create private forums to stimulate discussions online or used as the main interface to perform exams and assessments.
Pros
This tool is also designed in free software is a multimedia program that explores the way to generate virtual ways of quality distance education through its virtual environments, the tool is one of the most used for this type of tasks or activities one of its positive elements is in creating private virtual environments where a group of students with their teacher interact online, which after defining the role of administrator capable of creating subjects and administrator, with the role of teacher with permission or without permissions allows to generate the educational base necessary to fulfill a course. Another positive aspect is the ease of making or creating questionnaires by subjects to facilitate the teaching-learning process and the different evaluative uses necessary to assess the student's progress.
Cons
The tool presents standardized content which prevents differentiating the treatment between advanced and regular students, as well as presenting differentiated content since when the group is created a signature and the access role all share the information according to the profile held by the participants, as to the interface this is not very friendly with the students since it does not have an iconography that facilitates the identification of the different options besides the menus are not intuitive that does not generate a pattern of habit on the actions within the program. layout is similar to a normal blog something that in my opinion could be improved to take more advantage of the online application.

Pros
An extremely interactive tool, to begin with, makes the learning curve easy, intuitive reporting which depicts the progress to both the parties involved in the training and is entirely free and flexible.
Cons
I personally believe that the navigation is not easy between various screens on the dashboard and if the UI can be revamped it would make moodle even easier to use.

Moodle is an excellent choice if your organization is limiting itself to the consideration of open-source options.
Pros
It is highly customizable, includes a competitive variety of learning activities (paper submissions, discussion forums, quizzes/tests, wikis, etc.), and it supported and developed by a dedicated community of technologists and educators.
Cons
Most smaller schools and colleges will find (as I did) that they need a third-party host, which will relieve that responsibility but significantly reduce the customization options and timeliness of updates.

It connects with a ton of third-party applications to introduce innovative learning technologies and eLearning.
Cons
The only Con to using Moodle is that it isnt an application that people normally use on a daily basis, so there will be a little training required for both student and instructor.
