Review for Moodle

Reviewed 3 years ago

Moodle is a main source that is used in my university(I am doing my Masters and working at the same time). It helps me to submit my homework and track deadlines. Although I am very good at using Moodle now, it took me a long time to get used to it.

Pros

First it is free source for students, so you do not pay anything. Second you can enroll for different types of classes just using enrollment key and this is very convenient. Besides Moodle shows you the deadline for different assignments and you can submit your university homework by using Moodle, which is very practical and easy. Also it allows you to track your GPA for each course, that you too before. Moodle recently added a group chat function, and this might be a great tool for team projects.

Cons

It is very slow. Sometimes it takes more that 1 minute in order to upload 1 Word file. This is quite embarrassing. Also it sometimes have serious technical issues and students do not have access to Moodle. Also, the interface of Moodle is not well designed and it took me a while to become familiar with it.

"The best LRM arrangement among its other options"

Reviewed 3 months ago

Moodle was set up to expand our current preparation frameworks, which are two unique LMS frameworks for two altogether different divisions of the organization. Moodle was the product that unified regulatory and other cross-divisional phases of preparation and permitted us to arrive at the whole organization as opposed to copying work in two unique frameworks.

Pros

In general, Moodle has been a really beneficial encounter for me. My group and I burn through generally little energy on Moodle creating new classes, courses, and tests. The organization of courses is smooth, and understudies may effortlessly gain proficiency with Moodle's UI

Cons

On every server we attempted to put it on, the recommended establishment method (directly from server console) didn't work for us. We finished setting up each occasion through the web (which is an exceptionally extraordinary choice).

Online learning made easier by Moodle!

Reviewed 3 years ago

The software is very smooth and barely have glitches. They also respond to our troubleshoot tickets quickly and accordingly. Overall, the ride with this product has been very smooth.

Pros

Online learning can be a bit tough for beginners or people who are used to face-to-face classes, but the use of moodle is very easy that it can even be used for very young students! Moodle is the main platform that being used by our college and overall has been a very helpful tool since the incorporation of hybrid classes into regular face-to-face classes, especially now that the campus is closed, but all the students are still continuing to learn online using this product.

Cons

Although the software has very limited features and is often compared to bigger and better products, I can definitely say that with the cheap fee that comes with it, this product is very worth it and has everything that we need.

Good enough for students

Reviewed 2 years ago

I had online classes here and it's so easy to use this platform to get into my courses and stuff, Last year we use another software and it was a little bit harder to use and get into courses, nowadays we use this platform and it is so easy not only for me but also for my classmate and teachers

Pros

I really like the mobile class because you can access your class wherever you are, you just gotta have an internet connection to make it possible Also, I really appreciate having the course management and learner portal because these tools make the life of a student easier

Cons

video conferencing is not the best videoconferencing system but you can use it if you have no other alternative

Excelente sistema de educación a distancia

Reviewed 5 months ago

Ahora con la pandemia, el instituto tuvo que dar sus clases en línea, y Moodle nos fue de gran importancia, pues ayudó a atender a todo el alumnado en línea sin problema alguno.

Pros

La facilidad para poder crear todo el contenido a utilizar: clases, videos y exámenes. El docente al recibir las tareas podrá verlas sin necesidad de descargarlas y podrá calificarlas de manera muy fácil. La carga del material a utilizar tampoco es complicado. Nos ha resultado muy práctica esta plataformar, aunado a que es 'free' por lo que solo invertimos en un servidor VPS para que funcionara y así ha estado sin problemas. A la fecha no hemos encontrado error alguno, y a veces hay hasta 300 alumnos conectados al sistema.

Cons

No he encontrado realmente algo que no me haya gustado, tal vez algunas cosas por mejorar, pero que no afectan realmente su principal propósito.

Nice platform…. If it were easier to use!

Reviewed 8 months ago

Depending on the number of students and/or courses it may be worth learning how to use and fully customize Moodle. For small numbers I cannot say it is worth the time you have to spend with self training.

Pros

Getting started with it is not that difficult once you have read or watched the dedicated tutorials

Cons

I found it pretty difficult to customize the appearance of courses. In fact I gave up because I still think that the appearance of the course is not fully customizable (I couldn’t find out how after some months trying)

Customized learning with Moodle!

Reviewed a year ago

Moodle has been a great tool for us to create on-demand PD for teachers. It is easy to manage the content and offers asynchronous learning that is still social and allows teachers to interact with their cohort. We import SCORM packages as well as use Moodle's tools to create interactive lessons that are engaging.

Pros

The features that I like most about Moodle is that it is open-source, customizable, and is easy use for course creators and students.

Cons

Some of the reports I use frequently require too many clicks to access quickly.

One of the better/best open-source LMS

Reviewed 4 years ago

I am impressed with the Moodle. It may not have all the bells and whistles such as your paid for products, however, it is free software so don't expect too much. It gets the job done and is a wonderful step into the world of e-learning, especially if you are a company who is wanting to convert from hardcopy to online learning. Moodle will be a good indicator as to whether or not the conversion will be right for you.

Pros

Although this product may not have all the bells and whistles of a robust LMS, for a free, open-source product it is definitely a product/service I will recommend. Because it is free, you would expect the customer service and treatment to be sub-par however, I can honestly say that is not the case. I was assisted promptly with my issues and concerns and was delighted by the service I received as it was effective and efficient. My Pro goes to the service, not the product (Even though I do personally feel that this is a great platform for those who want to experience online learning but may not have the funds for an LMS)

Cons

Absolutely nothing I disliked about it. This is a free, open-source product, use it or don't use it but there is nothing to fault about it, only lots that can be improved on as time goes on.

Great for teachers, not so for students

Reviewed 4 years ago

Moodle was with no doubt the reference software for Learning Management Systems some years ago. However, it seems to have lost some pace and currently it only offers some benefits for class management other than learning, which as a teacher, I believe that is unfortunate (learning should be at first place).

Pros

* Great for grades' management, with rubrics, grading tables, complex calculations... * 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

Trending Learning Management System

Reviewed 4 years ago

With 1+ year's of experience, we found no hazzle using the tool and both students and the management are satisfied to provide education through this learning management system. All the tests and materials (including videos and other files are being shared) and the portal even works in low internet connectivity.

Pros

It's been over 4 years our organization is using the learning management system for education purpose. One of the best tool to distribute the study materials for the students and experienced no flaws from the tool so far. The students are happy and satisfied to provide education through the system which helps them to access the tool from anywhere and the configuration and logging in also an easy work. Almost all the files and videos are being distributed through the software.

Cons

The software application in the mobile or any potable device runs slow and the accessing of files and videos are bit tough compared to using in the computer. The mobile application could be improvised to sort out these issues as most of the students reply on their mobile.

Oodles of Moodles!

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

The Moodle LMS was among the first to offer modular add-ons and incorporation of existing curricula. The modular design is the best feature, in my opinion, as it allows "tweaking" of capabilities.

Cons

Occasionally the linked pages create confusion and on rare occasions, the password resets fail to deliver e-mails.

Solid but sometimes frustrating course management

Reviewed 2 years ago

Overall, my experience is mixed. In terms of course generation, organization, and overviews, I have had few problems. When it comes to managing quizzes and grading essays, I have found the system to be cumbersome and time consuming.

Pros

A lot of it is easy to use and set up. In terms of delivering course material and organizing a course, it is solid. I have no complaints. It is pretty easy to integrate video, articles, and discussion forums into your online course. It has been the way that I managed my online course during the pandemic.

Cons

I find the grading, particularly of essays and essay exams to be extremely time consuming and frustrating. It takes twice as long to type in quiz questions, to grade them, and to give feedback as when you do it in person. There has to be better ways to do it then on Moodle. I also find parts of the grade book hard to deal with and frustrating.

Easy to use and you can't beat the price

Reviewed 5 years ago

Compared to other Learning Management Software that I have used, this one is my favorite. I found it easy to learn on my own, build a course, and interact with students through Moodle. I found the email feature to be very useful when sending grades out to the students because I did not have to go back and forth from my personal email account to Moodle to look up contact information. It made assignment submissions easier too.

Pros

I used this software to teach a fully online course for a couple of years. Despite having no formal training, I found it easy to learn on my own (although I'm sure it had capabilities I never discovered). When I came to a problem I couldn't figure out through trial and error, the website usually provided the solution. I used the assignments, lesson, and quiz features the most, and found them to be straightforward, easy to set up, and versatile enough to fit my needs. The student interface is also simple to follow, and I appreciate the options to hide and reveal features automatically. I also like the metadata that Moodle collects on student usage, though I did not get to explore it or use it as much as I would have liked.

Cons

The most challenging part for me was to follow the various threads in the discussion forums, although I believe the students did not have the same problem (they were likely more tech savvy than me). While I found the grading to be easy, for the most part, I found the advanced grading options (such as rubrics) to be confusing.

Great tool for teaching academic courses and for a business-oriented LMS

Reviewed 5 years ago

Ability to hold online courses with no additional cost or overhead.

Pros

Obviously the cost is great (free and open source). Getting started is a little complex (see below), but the process of creating a course and running that course is very easy and intuitive. I use this software as an instructor at a community college and I've also set it up at our church to do online courses and book studies.

Cons

Unless you are getting a hosted version of this, you must have system administrator skills in order to get this software up and running. So don't think it is quite like WordPress where you have a super-simple setup. You will need some skills. Also, you have to understand that there is complexity inherent in the fact that it is such a flexible and robust system. It is mainly designed for the higher ed space and has been customized a lot. So if you just need a super simple LMS, this may be overkill.

Perfecte learning flow

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

Moodle Workplace biedt cursisten de mogelijkheid tot een perfecte learning flow en leerpaden. Van te voren geef je de condities aan. De cursisten stromen automatisch binnen in hun cursus. Instromen in de vervolgcursussen en het versturen van certificaten gebeurt ook automatisch. Voor middelgrote tot grote organisaties is het ideaal om jouw medewerkers aan het leren te krijgen en ervoor te zorgen dat ze blijven leren. Het gebruik van programma's zorgt ervoor dat je behapbare leerpaden kunt maken met relatief kleine cursussen. De cursist ziet snel een eenvoudig deelresultaten en blijft gemotiveerd om verder te studeren. De mogelijkheid van rapportages biedt managers een snelle inzicht in de resultaten van de medewerkers.

Cons

De vele mogelijkheden van Moodle Workplace zorgen er voor dat de leerpaden, de doelgroepen en de leerresultaten goed uitgedacht moeten zijn. Zonder helder beeld hiervan is het eenvoudig de weg kwijt te raken.

The Moodle is a really good online educational platform that allows you to perform and manage online education. It is a platform where you can upload educational materials, take tests, have assignments whit deadlines which all all managed and checked by the software.

Mostly positive. I would like to see if they can offer premium preseted enviroment.

Pros

You can install it on shared hosting platform in less then 10 minutes. There are lots of plugins and forum tips/tricks so anyone with a little bit time can become serious user/admin.

Cons

It is to fragmented, because of "openes". Yes you can integrate Office 365 but integration is quite loose. Yes you can implement SSO but some security concerns are present. Mobile app is unfinished and optimization often requires in dept knowledge of html/css. Reporting sistem is not straight forward, gemification is only an option, not reality.
