Moodle Reviews & Product Details

Moodle is stable, a fundamental aspect for maintaining and managing courses in the long term. It is flexible, with a huge number of Addons available that have always allowed me to adapt it to different needs I had. Furthermore, an even more fundamental aspect, as it is open-source software, I was able to adapt plugins and tailor them precisely to the needs I encountered. For example, we modified the certificate issuance plugin to allow multiple automated digital signatures on the same certificate. Also precious is the support from the community, always a partner with interesting solutions. A quality that is often pointed out as a weakness (I see it as a quality) is that using Moodle implies bringing competence for its management and maintenance into the institution. A common phrase, it is not free, it is open, it has a significant cost to be maintained, but you have complete control over the system. The phrase "the system doesn't do that" from proprietary LMS is replaced by "I don't know how to do that yet," which reveals who is responsible for the LMS resources in use.

I cannot present the point I bring here as a criticism, as I do not see how it could be improved, but it is worth mentioning. The handling and adaptation of tables is very complex, if it were possible, I would think of an interface that simplified the handling and search of data in the tables. Generating usage reports other than those that already came by default was always very laborious and complex. Two other issues brought difficulties when I was responsible for managing the LMS: 1) updating to version 3 (some time ago) when it was necessary to redo a large part of the course structure (I saw this resolved in the migration from 3 to 4) and 2) the time required to back up complete courses. As I worked with courses with many images, the time to copy and back up courses, internally in Moodle, was always very long, often longer than the time the server maintained the connection, sometimes forcing the process to restart.

Moodle has been around for a long time, and has been popular in K-12, so many are familiar with it from prior use - making it easy to use. You can save money by self-hosting, and it is customizable, but it takes an individual with good programming skills. The care and feeding of a self-hosted Moodle takes a villiage on-site and assistance from the community. Moodle developers are open to input from users, but it takes a lot of time and persistence to make changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you need to troubleshoot a problem, and you are self-hosted, you can't just "call Moodle customer support" and get help. There are tons of forums to search through, and often, it is like searching for a needle in a haystack. There are so many options, settings, and "hidden" features that the system can feel very overwhelming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our Association is only just starting to move into the online learning space by developing our small short courses for our industry.

I knew of Moodle through hearing about other people's experience in the online learning space but I looked at a few different options to make sure I was getting the best system . I decided to sign up to Moodle Cloud as I thought this would be the best option as I did not want to spend too much money while I was teaching myself how to create an online course.

I am happy to say that Moodle had a comprehensive learning database and short courses which made it easy to learn how to use their system.

In the six months that I have been using Moodle I have successfully created two small short courses and rolled them out to members of our Association. Our Association has 37 people enrolled across the two courses which is encouraging. Of those, only two participants experienced difficulties in completing the course or navigating the online LMS.

I have had good support from Moodle when I have needed to contact them after not being able to work out a solution to a problem I kept encounting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With many tools it is hard to know when to use the right one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Moodle almost every day and I find it user friendly. When I click on the site home page, it has all the courses listed which makes it to clicks the course that I want to go to.

I like the fact that each group that I assess is seperated so when I click on submissions and needs grading, it filters everything for me instead of me searching for a learner.

It also shows me follow ups , if a learner re-submitted a specfic assessment , it states re-submission so that I know this is not a new submission, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are system problems that was faced recently with modules not showing that suppose to be showing under specific learners or myself which lead to a delay is assessments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The flexibility of the platform is catering for different organisational needs. We are a development organisation with several programmes, some of which do not even fit the learning part, such as workshop facilitation or dicussion focurms, and with the features and the ability to integrate with other platforms, we are still able to support learning, coollaboration, etc. It is also easy to use by our beneficiaries and internal teams, and with the support of an expert service provider, Open Learning Technologies, it was easy to drive our programmes and thus implement withtout many challenges.

WIthout internal technical expdertise, it requires dependency of a service provider and this may be costly, even if it is open access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Moodle provides the flexibility that you are looking for in an LMS. It allows you to manage your content effectively, organise it in a meaningful way, assess your students through a variety of activities and provide feedback. What makes Moodle flexible is the number of integrations available for other learning and teaching software. Moodle also integrates with other systems, such Turnitin Similarity/Feedback Studio, Zoom, Panopto, Blackboard Ally and more, which allows for a more consistent experience. Moodle works as a central hub and is connected to every other service that a organisation might be using alongside it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Moodle can be quite complicated sometimes and its ways to achieve things are quite long-winded. You need to spent a lot of time to figure out why learners can't submit an assessment or why they can't the feedback you have provided in assignments. Some standard activities (such as Moodle Lesson) are best to be avoided and replaced by third-party software (such as H5P). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Moodle's open-source nature and extensive range of features—particularly its grading tools, activity management, and scalability—made it the perfect choice for both small and large-scale courses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing much, as all I see with Moodle is great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Moodle is a flexible and quite customizable, open-source learning management system it provides users with a friendly interface for education management functionalities. It assists in collaborative learning through coursework assignments, quiz setups, interactive video lectures and many other curriculum features, it also gives strong reporting and analytics on student progress. Integration of Moodle with different educational tools and systems extends its functionality, centralizes learning activity, and strengthens data management.

These features make Moodle cost-effective and powerful for any educational institution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While customizable and flexible, Moodle is still quite complex for new users to use, and requires a learning curve. The default interface may look a bit outdated, and large-scale deployments may experience performance issues. Without additional plugins, feature availability could be less. The official support options are rare compared to what one would get from a commercial provider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
