Moodle- course management system

2 14-18 March 2011 / EduNet Seminar 2011, Blomberg

What is ?

Open Source Course Management System (CMS),

also known as a Learning Management System (LMS)

or a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).

Is used as a tool for creating online dynamic web sites and

to manage educational content.

To work, it needs to be installed on a web server, either on

one at a web hosting company.

You are allowed to copy, use and modify Moodle if you agree

to: provide the source to others; not modify or remove the original

license and copyrights, and apply this same license to any derivative

work

Moodle development started as doctoral research by an

Australian, Martin Dougiamas. Today, Moodle has attracted

a long list of developers devoted to Moodle improvements.

Figure 1 shows the Moodle site at www.moodle.org, where

you will find additional information about developers and

users, as well as links for downloading the application itself.

easily changed under requirements-

Web-based testing eliminates the cost and effort of printing,

distributing, and collecting test papers.


advantages

The ability to integrate with human resource

systems.

The ability to integrate well between student

administration. systems and Moodle student

information.

The ability to support specific and complex business-

process models.

The ability to use a distributed administration model to

support multiple “schools” and “departments”.

The polished look of proprietary software, (it has a flat

structure for organizing and navigating learning

materials).


Disadvantges

Sophisticated assessment and grading capabilities.

Efficient use of space, e.g., a fixed block at the top that

wastes valuable screen “real estate”.

Is complicated to gather all statistical information from the

whole system.

Requires that someone of your staff takes responsibility for

making it work.

We are focusing on Moodle because of its rapidly growing

presence; because a global community of professionals and

educators who are very passionate about promoting free

software and improving the online learning experience

supports it.


Moodle will work, but not by itself. If teaching staff are not

given the responsibility for producing content, and if there is

not a “course author or designer” that can work with both

teachers and technicians in creating on-line materials, then

Moodle, or any other LMS, will remain an empty shell - like a

good car but with no driver.
