Site is never down. Several options to customize content Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

only one file can be uploaded for an assignment. Multiple uploads would improve functionality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very simple and easy to use. Allows me to manage users effectively and simply. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited functionality and can become quite 'clunky'. Moodle is best suited to schools and colleges rather than elearning Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like he idea of Moodle and it is a great collaboration tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The aoftware has a lot of issues at the college where I taught. For example I created a test but it completely disappeared for half of my students. Often I would save documents only to have them stolen by the Moodle ghost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the Moodle Quiz feature, which allows students to take quizzes online. It has made my work with students a lot easier, as I am no longer grading by hand, wasting paper and time. I can just log on and do everything through the Moodle website, including grade tracking! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface can be difficult to work within. Sometimes it takes a few clicks to get something to work, or sometimes you have to log back in if it gets glitchy. Overall, it doesn't really bother me too much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use in creating modules and organizing assignments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Isn't easy connecting back to our University gradebook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Moodle at a community college that I teach at. I have taught on Moodle for the past 8 yeas, and it has been an enjoyable experience. I like that all of Moodle is extremely customizable. The platform can be tailored to fit the need of each individual instructor within the school, as well as different add ons to support learning. I also like that it is open source, so as new tools are developed by individuals, they can be shared elsewhere. I currently enjoy using the sharing cart. This is a tool that copies content from one course to another. The sharing cart will allow you to copy to as many courses as you want, with the ability to select the exact location in the course you want the item to live. Also, the testing features are top notch. I can set user exceptions for testing, as well as enhanced due dates, restrictions, and permissions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the past, I have heard that Moodle is "clunky". I feel like it has the ability to be clunky, but if you take the time to fully support it then it has a nice feel to it as you can customize everything about it. The only negative I see is the need to self host the platform. You need to have your own servers and the ability to understand a software deployment in order to make Moodle a success.

I honestly can't remember anything I disliked Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been recommending MOODLE as the standard for open source course management systems for several years. I'm also a user, though not using the very latest version.

As a non-technical person, I've found MOODLE easy to install and configure, easy to use to build courses and great in helping to assess knowledge, through the in-built quiz engine.

Let's be clear, though, this is a course management system, NOT an application for creating e-learning. It;s a library, in which categories and courses can be created, holding documents in almost any form (including audio/video/PDF etc). It also makes it easy to create collaborative tools (e.g. course forums). It does this very well indeed, and I believe that a new user (course designer) could start working creating courses in MOODLE with very minimal training.

MOODLE has been going for years, and has (probably) the largest global support of any CMS. Much of that support network is informal, though there are MOODLE experts offering added value services (hosting, support etc) that are worth considering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In older versions, customising the rather bland look/feel of MOODLE has been through trial and error. Later versions do seem to make simple customising (changing colours, adding a logo) easier, though I do not know if this improvement applies to all themes or just some (you'll have to find that out yourself!).

That said, anyone with experience of developing CCS (cascading style sheet) files should be able to work out most theme customisations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
