What do you like best about Moodle?

I like the way my courses are laid out on Moodle. I making visually appealing images for Module headings using another tool, and I screenshot them and create labels with the images in Moodle, which gives my course a nice flow. I enjoy using the gradebook, although it can be complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Moodle?

Our particular version does not allow students to record verbal or video responses directly to the online forums or other assignments. This would be very useful in foreign language classes. In general, I do think there is a bit of a learning curve with Moodle. Simple actions are easy to do (upload files, etc.) but other things sometimes take longer to figure out. The "question" button beside some actions gives more info and can be helpful. I think it is more difficult on the teaching end than the student end, which is simple. I would continue using Moodle if students could submit voice/video assignments directly. This is critical in 2020 and I've been wanting it for 10 years. Perhaps it is available in other versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?

I deliver fully online and hybrid courses on Moodle. I also use Moodle to supplement face-to-face instruction by accepting many assignments online and posting instructions and resources. It is nice to have a place where students can go for any and all course materials and to reduce paper submissions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Moodle?

It is a wonderful place where students could see their syllabus and homework, literature, have discussions, ask professors various questions via forums and direct messaging and get answers. Also it shows the deadlines of your homework and group projects which is very important for me. Last but not least you can view your grades via Moodle and see what other subjects are presented by your faculty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Moodle?

The interface is not very user-friendly. You must spend a lot of time(2-3) months to understand all basic features of Moodle. Also very often Moodle is not working due to technical problems so it is not a very reliable. Other than that I do not have any major issues while using Moodle.

What do you like best about Moodle?

Moodle is highly customizable allowing you to completely redesign how your course looks, how it is organized, and what tools are fully integrated into the LMS. There are a ton of free themes available for various age groups or purposes that give you a lot of flexibility as to how you want to organize (by topic, week, unit, etc.) and present your site (for K-12, university, public online courses, etc.) . There are also a ton of tools that are fully-integrated (not LTI like other LMSs) so that the students never have to leave your site to complete their work or lessons. There are fully integrated games and other learning experiences that make it easy for students to review vocabulary terms or practice skills. Within most activities/tools, you have almost complete control with a lot of options and settings to customize your delivery or how you want to integrate the activity into your course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Moodle?

Since integrating certain types of assets requires SSH connectivity to the server, I've found that it was easier to simply maintain my own moodle server, but this requires a tremendous amount of knowledge and skill to maintain a secure server. This is not something that someone without a strong computer security background should attempt. While there are tools (like bitnami) that make it easier to get a Moodle site up and running, some of the customization and more interesting plugins require a little back-end knowledge or access to get working right. However, if you're just looking for relatively standard features (lessons, files, progress bars, games, etc.) - that's all easy to install onto your site and easy to configure. I have a few issues with specific plug-ins where they are not as flexible or don't follow the "standard" Moodle way of doing things, but that's not necessarily Moodle's fault. However, I feel like it is Moodle's responsibility to provide (and enforce) a common set of tools. For example, Moodle has the ability to support drag-n-drop reordering of widgets/items on the site and yet not all elements of Moodle take advantage of this. Like the gradebook, for example, I can't easily reorder items or move them into other sections (additional dialogs pop up, and then you have to scroll through dozens of items to find the right place) - when simply drag-n-dropping them should move them to a new order or to a new category without any additional issues. Of course, I've not seen other LMSs with better tools, so I don't fault them too much for this! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Moodle:

If your school is using Moodle, then it is a great, easy tool. The flexibility and plug-ins will satisfy just about any need you have and the fact that they're fully integrated into Moodle, your students will find it seamless to use and intuitive to navigate. It's great for organizing and posting content - everything is on the top-level and immediately accessible, nothing is hidden from the faculty member or doubly linked or in multiple places. Take a few moments to explore the plugins library - it is an amazing set of tools that provide an enormous variety of ways for students to get involved with the content!

If you're building and administering your own server, Moodle can be quite an undertaking (not that any other LMS would be easier). Definitely use a tool like Bitnami to help you install and manage it or contract through an ISP that will support Moodle for you - this will solve 95% of your administration issues with Moodle and make maintenance much easier. But, for the flexibility of being able to install anything you want/need and configure the site to your heart's desire, using Moodle can be amazing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?

I teach programming at the university level and the most important feature for me in Moodle is the Virtual Programming Labs - they allow me to create short or long auto-graded programming assignments that are fully integrated into the Moodle platform. My students have truly benefited from these experiences as they get immediate feedback on whether their code is correct or not. There are some limitations to this plug-in, but it has overall been a fantastic tool that has taken a LOT of grading and evaluation off of my plate.

Students have commented on how they like the organization of Moodle over the other LMS my University uses and I certainly like its transparency. I like how easy it is to post something to Moodle and see that it is "live" or "hidden" from students - everything is right there, at the surface level, nothing is hidden or linked in some odd way. I am able to easily show my students their progress with check-offs next to each item and overall progress bars. My students are game development students, so they like being able to "complete" objectives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Moodle?

It's a great idea for a platform and it's better than Blackboard, but tech companies really need to invest more into distance-learning programs, especially now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Moodle?

Moodle isn't intuitive and "ease of use" is almost non-existent. Moodle updates sometimes, but hasn't ever updated to make the program more user-friendly and more friendly to the eye- at least not since the last time I've logged in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Moodle:

Moodle is better than Blackboard, but there is a real need for a "great" distance-learning program that Moodle just does not fill. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Moodle is "just fine" when it comes to filling the need of a platform for distance learning. Nothing more; nothing less. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it is an open source learning the executives framework. After arrangement, we can modify our site utilizing topics and pictures. What's more, we can likewise alter our control board. The fundamental element of Moodle is cutting course materials is incredible, utilizing this we can convey reports to several understudies with a straightforward update. help speak with understudies, making addresses. We can do it through Moodle, so it is extremely simple to utilize in the event that we will send tasks, and so forth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Moodle?

Can't Configured to possess worker without the past information and IT foundation, And likewise it has given constrained access with the expectation of complimentary variant. It doesn't work any record type expansion. This can lead individual/institutional clients to utilize business facilitating suppliers or host the office on a private worker themselves. Barring these things Moodle offers great assistance to the training business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Moodle:

I enthusiastically suggest Moodle on the grounds that it incorporates all the capacities for separation learning. It can deal with the subjects of selected understudies rapidly. The design is simple and I know an ever increasing number of the capacities remembered for Moodle. It has a broad chronicle of archives and a gathering system. The open source Moodle stage is the best it has. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?

We confronted numerous difficulties, for example, absence of archives, a great deal of paper and issues of sending course material, After demonstrating Moodle, we can spare that aggregate sum for the organization. Furthermore, we likewise now have a solid correspondence framework with our students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Moodle?

Moodle provides a fairly large group of developers to make the platform look like and sound the way you want it for your educational environment. It has a fairly strong set of characteristics as an on-line learning platform which you can use to do reasonably advanced stuff like pathways. You can fully redesign how your training looks, how it is structured, and which tools are fully integrated into the LMS. Tons of free subject areas for different ages and/or purposes (themes, week, unit, etc.) are available and can also be presented on the website (for K-12, university, online public courses, etc.). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Moodle?

Open source design requires flexibility and, in some cases , new features overlap too much with old ones, to make it possible to select from several "discussion boards." As SSH conectivity to the server is important for integrating certain types of properties, it was simple for me to create my own Moodle server. Integration with applications from third parties is not as strong as the Blackboard and Canvas competition. I have some problems with certain plugins that are less flexible or do not follow the 'standard' way Moodle does things, but this is not necessarily a fault of Moodle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Moodle:

In addition to hosting a server, if you can use internally customized support and troubleshooting, Moodle can work fine. If there are other good choices that operate right out of the box, then it can be too complicated. You have virtually every need for versatility and plugins and it's easy to use and intuitive to use as they are completely incorporated in Moodle your students. All is at the top and readily available. Nothing is hidden from or is connected in two ways or in several places by a faculty member. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Moodle for fully-fledged university courses online, in combination and on a face-to - face basis. For some time, it worked well as our university's first movies. I am a university programmer and Moodle virtual programming Labs are the most important feature for me: they permit me to create short and long programming tasks that are fully integrated in the Moodle platform with automatical grading. These experiences are really beneficial to my students as their code is correct or not. They received immediate feedback. Students have said what they like about the Moodle organisation, and I like its transparency over other LMS used by my university. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
