Moodle Reviews & Product Details - Page 24

I like that it's fairly easy to navigate and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has too many glitches, it wont respond to commands or setting changes often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The GUI is better than average. Many functions are fairly intuitive. They try to make all students git on a screen and if they can't you can scroll rather than find and click on a "next page" arrow. You can administer tests online and they work with a few publishers to bring test packs directly into the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Administering a test online is very difficult and they do not support Parson's test packs which, given Pearsons size, seems surprising. After exam grades have all been entered and you find that a variable (such as value of exam, beta weights, etc. are sometimes not changeable. Extra credit assignments require that you first use the module to add a new "item" and then exit, go to a different module just to check a box indicating it is extra credit. Before you commit to a letter grade you need to manually calculate a few students. I have had Moodle make incorrect calculations. The modules are clunky and use too much nesting. Some modules require you to press "save" (which I like) while other modules do not (leaving me wondering if my data was saved. Compared to similar products used by other schools (I was an adjunct at three schools before getting a full time staff position" Moodle is the least liked by students. For the modules that require that you save your work I would like a prompt reminding me that I have not saved my work. The learning curve compared to, say, BlackBoard seems quite steep.

The software has come a long way over the past 10 years. There is a robust community of administrators and developers is making continual improvements and offering suggestions and support through Moodle's online community. It is free and open-source, and while you should plan to invest some resources in the development, management and hosting of your implementation, our small educational nonprofit saves thousands every year by using Moodle over other commercial solutions. Moodle is also built using web standards that have allowed us to customize a beautiful and simple interface for our students and teachers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is *very* resource intensive on a server. Hosting it became a very expensive proposition, but now we host it with a company only provides Moodle hosting and has several scalable plans that can grow with our organization. Also, the back-end can be a bit difficult to navigate & find what we need at times: it sometimes feels clunky & counter-intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Performance is a major issue with Moodle, when user load exceeds a certain limit, it start giving performance issues.For for big organisation you must scale systems to meet your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To set up a class is not that hard when you have some basic training. It is easy to upload files for the students to download for projects. The grade book is easy for the students to access as well. It is organized in a logical manner and its easy to find classes easily. Because it is open source its easy to find videos on how to do something or solve a problem. The mobile interface is really good, it makes it easy to do things on the fly. Its easy to rebrand for your University, ours called it On-Course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the simplest things are buried in a menu. To turn on grades for students to see is hidden under a couple of menus. The grade book is not quick to set up this is much easier than in other classroom solutions. Though once it is set for a class its easy to import it each year. One of the biggest weaknesses is the Attendance module. Its hard to understand and takes way too long to set up. I still can't use it after using Moodle for several years.

I like the way you can easily upload files and organize assignments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice to get push notifications when things are due, perhaps a phone text or something Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the fact that the instructor can be self reliant for most tasks and the administrator doesn't always have to be available. I like the importing of previous classes to new classes that are teaching the same content. The ease of this is awesome and a coordinator can do this as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use is not always there from the instructors and students. It's a little more clunky than some of the other LMS' I have seen. I don't like how many clicks it takes to get to certain screens. It would be better if it only took one click from the main screen to get to anything that they need.

One other thing I dislike is having to turn editing on and off all the time in order to change something or add something. Maybe need to have a screen that keeps you from deleting it so easily but not for adding or changing something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how it’s very easy for students to see their grades instantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t dislike anything about Moodle at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a wide variety of activities with which you can evaluate the student, from the same application, without using add-ons.

You can create evaluation activities to be carried out in groups and place the qualification to all the members of the working group.

It has a lot of documentation and a large community of users in many languages.

It is free and can be installed locally to test it before putting it into operation in the educational institution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having so many options is easy to feel lost if you have previous training in the use of the application.

Third-party plugins may stop working if their creator does not adapt it to the updates of the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great product for training within the company and helps get inservices done for all our locations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface can be a challenge for people to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
