Moodle

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- The look and feel a bit outdated even if you use a theme it feels like bit older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

Reasons for Switching to Moodle

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.

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

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.
