I also like being notified about any new communications and assignment reminders, as well as the level of privacy and security when logging into the app. Pros Firstly i would say i like the fact that it has been a convenient journey using Moodle for my distance learning. It is user friendly ,very straight forward. Being able to have access to my study material and assignments at anytime and anywhere. Also to be able to connect with other students through ,having groups chats as well. Its free to use it and with the best AI assistance as a Learning Management System. Cons What i dislike is that the app layout is different when using my mobile phone from the laptop one , to have a better experience i have to use my laptop and not my mobile phone. Review Source MSW Student Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Moodle Review" November 2, 2026 5.0 I enjoy using Moodle. It took a little bit to get used to the ins and outs of it, as with any new software experience, however, it's now very easy to navigate and get support on any concerns with it. Pros I like that Moodle is fairly straightforward and simple to use. There aren't a lot of extra features to navigate. It supports the user's needs. Cons Recent disruptions in the service have been annoying but have been remedied quickly by the IT team. That has been huge! Review Source Response from Moodle November 9, 2026 Hi Alisa! Thank you so much for your thoughts :) Sr. Accountant Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Moodle – My Classroom, My Schedule, My Way" October 26, 2026 5.0 Overall, I have had a good experience using Moodle. It has been helpful for staying organized, keeping track of my assignments, and accessing course materials without having to rely on emails or printed documents. I appreciate the convenience of having everything in one place. Although there is room for improvement in the design and navigation, Moodle has made managing my academic responsibilities easier. For me, it is like having a classroom available whenever I need it, minus the commute! Pros What I like most about Moodle is that I can access my course materials, check assignment deadlines, submit my work, and view my grades all in one place. It makes managing my studies much easier, especially when I have multiple assignments to keep track of. I also like being able to communicate with my instructors and review learning materials whenever I need them. Cons One thing I dislike about Moodle is that the layout can sometimes be confusing, and finding a specific assignment or course resource takes longer than expected. I have also found that the user interface could be more modern and intuitive. Sometimes, I wish the notifications were better organized so I wouldn't miss important updates. Review Source Response from Moodle November 9, 2026 This is lovely to read, Sudeep! Thanks for sharing. Digital Developer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Moodle: the best platform for exams" October 13, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Moodle as both a student and a student helping a teach build exams is a very good one. There are plenty of useful features such that you can customize the exams quite a lot, the UI is easy to use and the platform is very stable. Pros Moodle is continuously improving the UI I'm order to be modern and easy to use for both teachers and students. Cons Moodle should have something to monitor the user interactions during exams such that teachers can find out if someone is cheating ornis just suspicious. Review Source Response from Moodle November 9, 2026 Thanks for giving us such wonderful feedback. It's appreciated!

É uma plataforma bastante completa para estudos e treinamentos, principalmente pela variedade de recursos disponíveis. Pros Gosto da facilidade para organizar cursos, materiais e atividades em um só lugar. Também acho útil poder acessar os conteúdos pelo celular e acompanhar as tarefas. Cons A interface poderia ser mais moderna e intuitiva. Dependendo do curso, algumas funções podem ficar um pouco difíceis de encontrar. Review Source Developer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Messy and faulty" September 23, 2026 2.0 Bad. I've used it when I was a student, and it would always fail at something, whether it was sending me alerts or just simply being easy to navigate. Pros It runs fast and doesn't consume any resources because it is a lightweight app. It is free and the login system is nice and secured. Cons The UI is terrible. Navigating the different tabs is annoying, things are anything but intuitive, the notifications system fails most of the time, and the external links are more often broken than not. Review Source Tawseef K. Research Associate Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Reliable Platform for Organized Online Learning" September 14, 2026 4.0 Moodle has proven to be an efficient platform for conducting academic work and communication since it makes everything happen under one roof. Pros It provides a systematic platform where I am able to access learning material, hand in assignments and keep academic life organized. Cons The interface feels a bit outdated at times, and moving between different courses and tasks can take more clicks than anticipated. Review Source Administration and Training Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Moodle - many more features than most understand." August 9, 2026 4.0 Overall I feel it is a good product. Many education institutions use Moodle, making it easy to share material. It is a great tool to learn and develop courses with. While it can be expensive to have hosted and overwhelming when you first start out there are services to help you learn and I thoroughly recommend everyone use these online learning / orientation courses and do them as refreshers. Pros Moodle is a very comprehensive platform for education. You can enable interactive content, making branching scenario activities, award grades, or simply determine competency. The range of resources and activities you can upload or create is extensive. You can host Moodle on your own server or you can pay for a hosting service. Moodle is free to set up if you are managing your own system. Moodle has a community forum to help you with a lot of challenges that many face. Cons If you have never used Moodle before it can be overwhelming. There is so many features that you can struggle with where to start but, there are some good online courses in the Moodle Academy that can help. To use a hosting service is not cheap but these services usually come with support so they are helpful.

Review Source Teacher Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Nothing Exciting but Useable" August 4, 2026 4.0 Moodle fixed a lot of it's earlier integration issues where Google and Microsoft didn't connect easily. It's easy to set up but better customer support or initial orientations might make it easier for teachers to set up classrooms in ways that benefit studnents. Pros Moodle is a very popular classroom management system. It provides real time updates for students and teachers. It has a lot of categories of assignments and ways to organize the classroom. Cons My biggest qualm with Moodle has always been it's disorganization. Because of the many diverse ways teachers can choose to organize their classroom, there's no standard template. It's up to the student, in every new course, to figure out how their teacher has chosen to organize the online classroom, which is complicated and frustrating. Review Source Student Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Could Use Work" July 1, 2026 4.0 Pros Easy to use when professors have the time to update everything and organized. Can consistently log you out for no reason, but grading is clear. Cons Very buggy sometimes when displaying things that aren’t properly managed. You also aren’t always notified of updates.

Independent Contractor and Edtech Expert Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Excellent LMS for the "price"" December 23, 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/) Reasons for choosing Moodle Moodle had the right balance of SCORM compliance, number of users possible, and price of installation. Review Source Response from Moodle February 25, 2026 Hi Sarah! Wow, you've had so much experience with Moodle, as a teacher, student and an admin. This makes your feedback so valuable as you've seen Moodle from so many angles. We really appreciate your time taken to write us a review. Digital Health Officer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Moodle Experience" April 14, 2026 4.0 Knowledgable. I learned a lot as a student user once back when I was in college and now as an Administrator. Pros The chat/messaging feature. As an admin, I am satisfied with this because I can send a broadcast to all my users. Cons I use Moodlecloud. The feature I like the least is the process of creating the performance usage report. I discovered when I first extract that information that there are columns that are not relevant - I want main details such as how many times a user logged in and how long they were logged in and the courses they viewed/attempted, the functions they used the most and all those. Alternatives considered [AGORA](https://www.capterra.com/p/265850/AGORA/) Reasons for choosing Moodle Because Moodle can be used in low-resource areas of Papua New Guinea. Review Source Teaching Assistant Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Functional but not incredible " May 13, 2025 3.0 Overall Moodle is good at offering a relatively easy to use platform for course pages and material. They have pre-set organized course designs to choose from which is great but it can be difficult to embed videos and add any other media besides text to the pages. Pros I liked that Moodle offers a wide variety of pre-set course page designs and makes it easy to have a cohesive design and aesthetic that helps with organization and clarity. Cons I did not like how difficult it could be to incorporate multimedia on the course pages. I had issues with embedding instructional videos and it was not the most intuitive or easy to use.

Pros A super easy LMS platform to use for online learning with a couple of user-friendly tools that will help make creating lessons, grading, assigning tasks and setting cohorts a simple journey. Cons Though it offers many ways and means to stage and pace lessons, Moodle is still away from Canvas Instructure. Students cannot trace their progress, nor can they bookmark their last task. It still causes many technical bugs for those who installed Moodle on their sites or domains, you might lose everything if you think to upgrade. Alternatives considered [Canvas](https://www.capterra.com/p/127214/CANVAS/) Reasons for choosing Moodle It is dictated by our institution. May be because it is inexpensive.

Pros Moodle is very flexible and well suited for structured learning environments. It helped us deliver and manage safety training modules in a structured and reliable way. Cons The user interface feels dated and can be unintutive for new users. Setup and configuration require time and technical knowledge, especially for administrators. Alternatives considered [Google Classroom](https://www.capterra.com/p/186631/Google-Classroom/) Reasons for choosing Moodle Moodle offered more flexibility and control over course structure, user roles and reporting compared to Google Classroom.

Online Learning Consultant Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Old Moodle" March 28, 2025 3.0 I have used it quite extensively in the past and now have been using it for some training. It does what I need it to, but the core of it seems old and incapable of incorporating newer tools. That said, part of my more recent experience may be connected to the control by the organization. They may have it so locked down that it makes it difficult to do what I need. Pros It is highly programmable, meaning that if you know coding, you can make it work well for you. Cons It is "old". Styling is highly dependent on the course or system designer and has no real good look out of the box. Switched from [Canvas](https://www.capterra.com/p/127214/CANVAS/) Upgrading the first time. Second time was leaving previous institution that had Canvas. Review Source Response from Moodle April 8, 2025 Hi Dale, We appreciate you taking the time to review Moodle.

Specially in private projects (for training and handover) or for employees skill advancement inside the company. I particularly appreciate the possibility of adding scoring test during the courses, so we can draw a line of skill improvements over time. Cons It is still time consuming to build learning modules. Also, theming is poor if you are looking into a full customisation that doesn't look like Moodle out-of-the-box. Get someone skilled that can help you build more advanced features or integrate it seamlessly in your intranet/portal.

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.

It is great at teacher/student communication. I was a little overwhelmed using it at first, but with practice I was able to navigate. Pros I like Moodle because it is easy to track assignments, tests, and quizzes. It keeps everything organized. Cons The one thing I dislike about Moodle is it is hard to navigate. Teachers need training on all the features it offers.
