What do you like best about Moodle?

The software is user-friendly. Students intuitively browse the contents of their account. Online tests can be easily posted and immediate results of individual students can be displayed. Really nice for universities and schools who are interested in conducting online tests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Moodle?

The user interface is a bit classic. Younger Students often encourage trendy user interface and material design. Also a student can open his account from multiple locations, hence there may be chances of a student giving exam from his home, rather being present in the exam location Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Moodle:

Very good product. Really beneficial for universities. Good luck. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Online tests, and results are organized easily using moodle. Also notices can be posted on the wall of a profile. Hence this makes easier to convey import things to students using Moodle. Data is also secure on moodle server. Also, moodle is highly customisable, fulfilling customer needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Moodle?

System is very interactive, and easy for our students to use. Program gives instructors a lot of flexibility in course design on the site, and allows students to use interactive features to complete assignments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Moodle?

Too much flexibility and too complicated to set up. Most instructors do not use moodle to its full extent due to the time it takes to setup a course. Instructors who utilize the system to its full extent report spending more than 10 hours per class completing setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Moodle:

Great system compared to alternatives. However, it is not without its fault and bugs. This could possibly be due to our own system administration, but it can still be a very intensive system to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Allows students to turn-in school work digitally. Saves time of processing paper copies, in addition, instructors can have resources posted that are directly related to the assignment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Moodle?

Moodle has excellent customization options, allowing you to fiddle with the course to match your actual needs. I like the ability to easily add images and modify titles to feet the needs of each course. In addition, while the gradebook isn't quite as robust as Blackboard, it is powerful enough to work for most courses. Especially for a writing professor, it allows you to do things like upload feedback files, create rubrics, and collect student papers with little hassle. Given that it's an open-source platform, I think it offers basically everything that a professor needs to organize a class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Moodle?

The UI definitely needs to be streamlined in certain ways. Often, you find yourself clicking across multiple menus to find a certain feature, especially whenever you need to use the gradebook. While it generally will be suitable for most purpose, other course management programs have a wider set of features - for example, Blackboard has its own internal word processing program that allows you to comment directly on texts, which drastically speeds up the grading process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Moodle:

Other course management packages - like Blackboard - are easier to use and have a more robust set of features. However, for an open-source learning platform, it offers everything that needed for the typical professor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It simplifies the process of organizing course materials and student grades, which saves me from having to keep track of student papers and handouts. The gradebook makes it drastically easier to calculate grades at the end of the term. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to customize and user friendly for the students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Moodle?

The administrator has the ability to lock many of the features, which standardizes the software for all of the users, but diminishes the full usefulness of the product. This is not a problem with the software, but with the administration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

What do you like best about Moodle?

One of the best features of Moodle is the ability to share files within a committee or group at my institution. Instead of emailing a file around, the master file is put on the Moodle course for that group so we all have the same version to reference prior to our meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Moodle?

Moodle is sometimes a little bit clunky to use on a mobile device, but it's not the kind of resource that needs to perform flawlessly on a screen that small. For it's purposes, this isn't a deal breaker, but it can be a bit of a drawback on the fly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Moodle:

From the administrative side, Moodle has been a great way to organize materials across committees and classrooms. It is fairly easy to use and has increased productivity in a variety of ways. We can share materials prior to meeting with a group as well as store previous meeting minutes and upcoming goals to be accomplished so that we can stay on course with the committee objectives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Moodle allows administrators to share files from a committee or group without a hundred emails flying around. We tend to be pretty email heavy where I'm at, so any way in which we can cut down on large file sizes clogging inboxes is a good one. Moodle also allows us to look back at previous meeting minutes to reference our agendas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Moodle?

I used Moodle for school, and I enjoyed that I was able to access previous courses as well as current ones. I also liked that it offered email forwarding so that I didn't have to worry about missing important emails when I wasn't signed in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Moodle?

The interface wasn't as easy to navigate as it might have been. Courses were simply listed via text, and the names were often long and unseemly. It would have been much nicer with buttons, or even some sort of edited names Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Moodle:

Moodle recently did a re-haul, and the interface has greatly improved. I very much recommend it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The benefit of Moodle was being able to submit assignments, take quizzes, and just generally interact in a simplistic manner with my professors. One of the problems we solved using this software was how to distribute and then collect take-home exams. These needed to be handed out at the same time, as well as given a deadline for return. Because you're allowed to pre-program Moodle for this, we were able to administer the take-home exams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Moodle?

The cohort support within each Moodle 'course' made graduate school extremely easy. Being able to find assignments and resources before, during, and after thesis work was really helpful. I love being able to communicate with other classmates through the forums option; it is ideal for cohort-based distance education programs. You feel like you're part of the class, rather than just a participant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Moodle?

At first I thought the user interface was difficult to use/outdated, but after getting the hang of it I find it extremely easy to navigate. It's easy to go back and find different threads and course-specific information now that I have used it for a good amount of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Moodle:

I've used both Blackboard and Moodle, and I find Moodle to be much more user-friendly. Be sure to navigate all the different functions at the beginning, because it will make things much easier later on. It's a great place to archive resources and forum discussions. For institutions looking to choose between the two, I would choose Moodle over Blackboard or Canvas! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

My favorite aspect of Moodle is that all of the resources, assignments, and forums are still available years after the course! It makes writing a thesis extremely easy, because everything is in one place as an archive. It also makes cohort-based distance learning (such as an international graduate degree program) extremely welcoming and effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
