I like that Moodle was user friendly and easy to navigate. It was pretty simple and user friendly for the most part.

I used the product during my graduation, but I found an excellent opportunity to extend the contents of the college to my residence.

Moodle has allowed many students, like myself, to gain information at an affordable price while still receiving quality analysis of books, skills for learning, and more.

Director of Website Production

This is a great tool to use for training purposes such as we have. We use it for new and ongoing training and are very happy with it overall.

I used it in my college years and I've got to say that i loved it. It is highly customizable and easy to use and understand as it has a nice interface.

It was really helpful for me to help the students practice and improve their coding skills. I used it together with google classroom and they integrate each other very well.

Graphic Designer

The overall experience was dull, heavy, and made everyone unhappy and struggling.

Software Developer

It is now a bulky applications with hell lots of features, it will take you around 2-3 months to properly go through every feature, no matter how fast you are.

Moodle can be difficult to find classes you are taking. I have had struggles signing into my class and finding them.

My biggest problem is that some teachers have NO IDEA how to use this product. This app needs to give courses to teachers on how to use it.

Moodle is open source and has a great community of people that support it.

My overall experience with Moodle has been positive. The ease of use, particularly on the mobile app, makes it a great tool for students. However, the scrolling issue does affect the usability a bit. Overall, I would recommend Moodle to others, as it enhances the learning experience significantly.

Moodle is pretty decent for quizzes and courses and has been the goto for all my courses but it's kinda showing it's age, but at the same time there's not really any alternative aside from maybe canvas, it's alright.

it was not so easy to understand to upload information it was complex you had to ask for support from another user who used this platform more to send work sometimes it was easier to send an email with the information, it did not warn you if you had pending information to send or had new information.

Moodle Review: Moodle is the Most Powerful for Us!

Eladio M.:                                             Hello, this is Eladio. I work in a producer of online courses. And I'm going to rate Moodle with four out of five stars.
                                                       I have used many alternatives to Moodle, such as LMS and WordPress with LearnDash and Sensei. Moodle is the more powerful of all of them.
                                                       I use Moodle because this is the all-in-one solution for e-learning. It has everything: tests, communication with the students. It is the most powerful tool in the market for this.
                                                       I could give Moodle five star if it was was easier to use it, but the interface is very old, very little intuitive. And that's something they have to improve.
                                                       If you are starting with Moodle right now, I would recommend that you look for expert advice. It is very tough to configurate, to set up and to put everything in place. So look for help.

Educational Consultant

Moodle - The Perfect Open Source LMS

Alan:                                                  Hi, my name's Alan. I'm a Educational Technology Consultant. I would rate Moodle a 5, and for more reviews, click below.
                                                       The main reason that I went with Moodle over Google Classroom was Moodle offers a much better interactive component to it. Where Google Classroom tends to be more of a repository for information, Moodle actually lets students, for example, have more of an interactive experience.
                                                       When it came time to make a choice about why I went with Moodle, one of the nice components of it is that it's free. It's an open source, so if you have a server available or want to set up a server, or have somebody host it, all the software that you need to run Moodle is absolutely free. There's also components or plugins that you can add to further enhance Moodle, which you can get from the moodle.org website, which are also free.
                                                       To get started with Moodle it's fairly easy setup. Most of the setup you have to do manually, but if you have IT experience it's fairly straightforward on setting it up. As well as if you want to add additional plugins to it, it's pretty easy to do that also. Once you get it set up it's really then teaching those that are using it how to get started on it, which if they have familiarity with doing things like dragging and dropping files, like say, on Google Docs or Google Drive, it makes it that much easier for people that want to use it to get started with it.
                                                       One of the things that I would advise if, say, you're a educator and want to utilize Moodle, it's important to have a good connection with your IT person, because when you first get Moodle installed it's pretty much standard. Where you really get to have it much more robust is with the additional add-ons that you can get, which will require your IT person to go on and download them and then install them to the Moodle. So that's the key component, it's really having a good relationship with your IT person.
