IV. CONCLUSION• Moodle is:
– A platform to save and achieve teaching material easily.– A collaborative online platform for teachers and students to
learn together. • Humanware: “The key to successful use of technolog
y in language teaching lies not in hardware or software but in humanware” (Warschauer & Meskill, 2000).
• Teachers’ Participation: Moodle system does not promote learning or teaching on its own. Its effectiveness lies in the way of your participation and interaction to experience and feel that you are among like-minded people who share the same curiosities, needs and interests.
• Join the open source & Moodle club and join our online communities today.
