The e-learning platform for 100+ students

In the beginning, I would say it's a bit harder to learn but after I read their documentation and refer some guides I become a master of Moodle. There are a good amount of helping documentations with Moodle you can find almost anything on their documentation. I’m happy to say that still our students using it daily. If you have a small budget this is a great choice. I’m very satisfied on Moodle and I can recommend for anyone those who are looking for a good LMS platform

Pros

I have used Moodle for an organization to implement an e-learning platform. I have searched for may LMS and finally, I selected Moodle because it’s open source and very customizable for our requirements. While I am using the Moodle I can list down some pros according to my experience

- Moodle has Multilingual capability that allows users to use multi-language it was a great feature for me.
- Manage user roles and permission, You can define roles to users and manage user access
- Bulk course creation and easy to backup
- Customizable or create our own themes
- Very useful calendar to track course deadlines, meetings and many more
- Admin user can Install and disable 3rd party plugins

Cons

Though Moodle offers many features there are some things that I don’t like much. I can list a few cons of Moodle

- The learning curve is a bit higher for administration and building Moodle courses for First-time users
- If you need to customize some functionalities requires a Moodle programmer
- The look and feel a bit outdated even if you use a theme it feels like bit older
- I faced some upgrading issues it’s not that easy for me

Alternatives Considered

Google Classroom

Reasons for Switching to Moodle

Moodle is free and customizable for our needs and we can host it anywhere we want.

Moodle-The Ultimate Learning Platform

Moodle helps us track students’ submissions, participation in activities, which is very helpful. The benefit of Moodle is the easy of use, accessibility and multilingual support, gamification and engagement.

Pros

Moodle's resource management and collaborative tools are most impactful. Moodle is user friendly and a brief tutorial on the platform helps users become well acquainted in little time. Moodle carefully considers how educators and administrators make the best use of Moodle features making the integration process easy.

Cons

The mobile feature is not as seamless and the desktop app. Regular Maintenance and updates poses a challenge on users. Integrating into the business was easy, however with unannounced downtime particularly during submissions poses a major challenge for students and administrators.

Using moodle in college

Overall it is a good application and useful for what is used, it could be better but meets the basics of what is expected

Pros

It is an application that joins the classroom to the digital, bringing the documents used all to the same place facilitating the distribution of information to all users

Cons

It has old structure, sometimes difficult to measure or understand, meads do not notify which makes it difficult to see if you are not inside the application

Moodle: a time-tested LMS

Very positive experience. Prefer it over Blackboard in many features.

Pros

The course management features from assignment management (due dates, late assignment tracking, plagiarism testing) to test management and grading tools.

Cons

The performance is sometimes lagging probably because of server contention that might not be related to the software platform itself. But still more evaluation and testing should be considered before assessing the source of the bottleneck.

Alternatives Considered

Blackboard Learn

Reasons for Switching to Moodle

Time tested and more price efficient.
