Introduction to Moodle

by William Rice | September 2011 | e-Learning Moodle Open Source

Moodle is a free learning management system that allows you to create powerful, flexible, and engaging online learning experiences. We use the phrase "online learning experiences" instead of "online courses" deliberately. The phrase "online course" often connotes a sequential series of web pages, some images, maybe a few animations, and a quiz, provided online. There might also be some email or bulletin board communication among the teacher and students. However, online learning can be much more engaging than that.

In this article by William Rice, author of Moodle 2.0 E-Learning Course Development, we will give you an introduction to Moodle.
