“I like that it's open source, which means I can get it for FREE if I have my own hosting solution. And it's not a cheap, minimal product either - it's a quality learning management system that supports a variety of assignment types with easy grading.“

“It doesn’t open files the same way across different devices and causes a disruption as such. When new files are updated, they don’t always show up where they should and takes a while to shuffle through.“

“A super easy e-learning platform with all beginners would use to start their online business or career; its user-friendly dashboard does not need to be an expert in creating online lectures, setting students lists or cohorts, grading and even giving feedback.“

### "Moodle rocks my Noodle"

January 26, 2026

5.0

Pros

Student teacher interaction, user and administrative management and value for money as well as easy to use features and UI.

Cons

Nothing bad to say really. I think moodle is excellent, especially once the bugs are tweaked, im sure it will succeed.

### "Moodle - platform for studies"

February 27, 2026

4.0

We used Moodle as a shared space when I studied at a university. We used it mostly for everything: publiching teaching materials, asignments, homeworks, thesis there.

Pros

It's a platform that gathers all the information in one place. All the disciplines, assignments, homeworrks, and teaching materials are published there. You can also look up people there (teachers or students). We also used it a lot when we had online classes (during Covid).

Cons

The mobile version is not very adapted, and the interface, and the design could have been better. Otherwise, it surves its purposes as a platform for sharing materials. It could have also been a bit more well-structured and more straightforward.

### "Not what I thought it was going to be."

February 13, 2026

3.0

Enjoyable to work with but did not fit my needs. Not a lot of customization options and somewhat outdated.

Pros

I tried Moodle on a trial basis to see if it would work for onboarding customers to share information on what to expect when signing on with our company.

Cons

It did not perform as expected but that is likely because it isn't the right program. I could see benefits in other facets.

Hello! You said you used Moodle on a trial basis. Perhaps it was Moodle Cloud? Moodle LMS and Moodle Workplace are our other products, and we personally use Moodle Workplace at Moodle HQ for our team onboarding and training, which you might be interested in exploring for your use case. Feel free to reach out to our team to find the ideal product for your business.

### "Excellent LMS for the "price""

December 19, 2025

5.0

I have used Moodle as a student, a teacher, and a site administrator - including both completing my own setup start-to-finish and moderating an install set up by someone else. I've found Moodle to be an excellent learning management system. Other LMS platforms do have some extra features that are nice, but they rarely tip the scale on cost-benefit ratio; Moodle is good and free.

Pros

I like that it's open source, which means I can get it for FREE if I have my own hosting solution. And it's not a cheap, minimal product either - it's a quality learning management system that supports a variety of assignment types with easy grading. It allows a customizable amount of teacher-student interaction; set up a course and let it run without touching it again, or have a hands-on teacher communicating daily. Sufficient support documentation is available that I never needed to contact any kind of customer support. It seamlessly supported my course authored on Rise 360.

Cons

It took some time to figure out how to set it up on a free hosting platform as an administrator; I had issues with needing more server access than I had for free. (I did find a workaround that's sufficient for the low-usage environment I'm currently supporting.)

Alternatives considered

[Google Classroom](https://www.capterra.com/p/186631/Google-Classroom/)[TalentLMS](https://www.capterra.com/p/132935/TalentLMS/)

Reason for choosing Moodle

Moodle had the right balance of SCORM compliance, number of users possible, and price of installation.

### "Best in Classroom"

February 23, 2026

5.0

I was a student who used Moodle for 7 years while completing my 2 degrees. It was a simple portal to access with your class requirements and assignments all laid out for you.

Pros

The platform was easy to use and I used it at two different institutions. It was simple to interact with your instructor, and great to see all your assignments due and graded.

Cons

I didn't experience any dislikes as a end user, and my instructors liked have a template for there classes.

### "Moodle is Perfect for Online Schooling "

February 18, 2026

5.0

I have personally used Moodle during my classes with Library Juice Academy, so everything is strictly online, but I have to admit it has a been a wonderful and easy experience so far.

Pros

Everything is labeled exactly as it should be so I would consider this software to have an ease of use, very user friendly, and I like how you can view the grading and assignments in live time as well be able to have student-teacher interaction through the software as well. It's a perfect system to use for online schooling.

Cons

Having only seen it from the user side, I'm not sure if it is actually hard to work with through the administrative side. All I can say so far are good things about Moodle.

### "Customizable learning management system that grows with your business"

March 18, 2026

4.0

Super cost effective with a huge library of plug in options available, and what feels like huge community support, I would use Moodle more if we build out more LMS for our business. We're not quite there yet, but for a simple set up, it's worked great for us.

Pros

Easy to use and start learning management system that I researched and ultimatley used to build a training environment to teach a workflow process in my business.

Cons

It had a steeper learning curve than some other plug and play learning models, but it was the most cost effective choice for what I wanted to do.

### "Moodle moderately ok"

March 2, 2026

5.0

It was utilized by my department for a few quarters but was only used for a short time and replaced by google classroom.

Pros

Very flexible, free Learning Management System that gives plug-in support. Convenient for large online classes.

Cons

It has a steep learning curve, outdated interface and in my opinion, required a great deal of support from my IT department.

August 31, 2021

5.0

Excellent! I have used Moodle successfully both before and during COVID-19. It has helped me teach well.

Pros

I find Moodle to be the perfect LMS to use for both Blended Teaching and Learning and Fully Online Teaching and Learning. I have been using Moodle for both since 2013. I could NOT go back to teaching (and training colleagues) without it.

Cons

Moodle can be overwhelming because it is full of possibilities.

### "An advanced learning management system that allows for collaboration and is beneficial in higher education"

February 5, 2025

5.0

Moodle was very easy to navigate and to access course materials. The community forum also helped with collaboration for assignments and engaging in conversations that would otherwise be difficult in a virtual medium.

Pros

Used in higher level education for managing access and content of courses. Interface was simple and easy to navigate. Allowed for ease with downloading, uploading, and submitting documents. Community forum was also very helpful for engagement and collaboration with classmates.

Cons

No cons noticed with experience with Moodle so far.

### "User-Friendly Interface with Room for Improvement"

October 27, 2024

4.0

My overall experience with Moodle has been positive. The ease of use, particularly on the mobile app, makes it a great tool for students. However, the scrolling issue does affect the usability a bit. Overall, I would recommend Moodle to others, as it enhances the learning experience significantly.

Pros

I really like Moodle’s website and mobile app. The interface is very user-friendly, making it easy to navigate through courses and resources. The mobile app is especially convenient for accessing coursework on the go, which I’ve found very helpful for my studies.

Cons

One downside I’ve experienced is that when I scroll down in a course and open a section, returning to the main page always takes me back to the top instead of where I was. This can be frustrating when trying to find specific content quickly.

### "The best open-source learning tool"

November 27, 2024

5.0

I work with a projet, my job was to deploy open-courses tool to improve learning experience using Moodle and kolibri. So, I deploy it in Cameroon, it was good, simple to handle for administrator, but not easy at all for student and instructor.

Pros

Moodle is open-source software that can be installed locally for offline use in areas where the internet is unavailable. Moodle can be installed or deploy with offline context, i like it

Cons

The user interface is the most complex. In rural area communities where learning is inaccessible, the Moodle user experience is really complex when it comes to courses and exercises.

### "Moodle is a hero! "

October 9, 2024

4.0

We have used this product for many years and our institution has grown with it! We are glad we went with this learning management system oppose to others because of its efficiency and success it has brought to us.

Pros

This product enhances the learning environment for both our students and teachers. With its ability to integrate other platforms such as panopto and element, students are able to collaborate and communicate efficiently in their courses.

Cons

On the faculty side of moodle, it has been a challenge to migrate courses seamlessly from other platforms. We have found workarounds but have been tedious. With other products having a more modern look, moodle may need a user interface revamp to attract more customers and enhance the classroom experience.

December 22, 2025

I find Moodle, a powerful tool for teaching and learning, easy to navigate, and flexible for diverse learning needs.

Pros

Moodle has a powerful Interface, and is user-friendly and flexible for scheduling, teaching, and assessment needs. I like the fact that it is free, and you can use it at no cost.

Cons

Even though it is free, hosting it, updates, and customer support are challenging. It also has an inconsistent structure that brings challenges for file organization.

October 27, 2024

4.0

I enjoy using Moodle, especially for direct communication with teachers. While working through my courses I can instantly email or message questions at any time of the day and get a response without having to be in the classroom. Moodle is very handy for keeping all of my notes in the same place.

Pros

I like that Moodle acts as a virtual classroom, creating another link between students and teachers with instant messaging and file sharing capabilities.

Cons

I found Moodle to have a strong learning curve. It took me awhile to figure out where to access all my coursework in my folders.
