### "Good for Managing Courses and Assignments"

May 22, 2026

4.0

It is very customizable and works for both small colleges and large universities. It is a platform similar to google classroom or a blackboard where all the teaching activities can be conducted seamlessly.

Pros

It is very useful for teachers and educators to upload assignments, lectures, notes and conduct exams or tests for a group of students. It is very easy to use and has many features for smooth conduction of tests and upload of grades. It is free and open source to use.

Cons

One thing I liked least about Moodle was that the interface can sometimes feel outdated and less intuitive compared to newer learning platforms. There were occasional bugs such as pages loading slowly, quizzes freezing temporarily, or assignment uploads failing on unstable connections. Notifications and navigation could also be improved because important updates are sometimes easy to miss. Customer support largely depends on the institution using Moodle, so resolving technical issues can occasionally take time.

### "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.)

Reason for choosing Moodle

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

### "Moodle Experience"

April 9, 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.

### "CS student moodle evaluation"

January 23, 2026

3.0

Moodle is a solid tool that gets the job done for university life. It provides all the necessary features for a Computer Science student, but it desperately needs a modern visual update, and also , the files submit system , should be updated.

Pros

As a computer science student, I really value the learning platform because it serves as an all-in-one hub where I can access all my course materials, submit some of my assigments. It has a organized interface, supporting multiple file formats and activities.

Cons

The platform feels quite outdated, often requires too many clicks to locate specific documents. The mobile experience is also somewhat limited compared to the desktop version, with inconsistent notifications. Also, when I try to add a file and submit it, a lot of time it takes to many clicks to confirm it , I have already missed some deadlines because I forgot 1 of 5 confirms.

### "A Helpful Platform for Staying Organized at Concordia"

April 19, 2026

5.0

My overall experience with Moodle has been good. It kept all my course materials, assignments, grades, and announcements in one place, which made it easier for me to stay organized throughout the semester. I liked that I could quickly check deadlines and see updates from my professors without having to use multiple platforms. At the same time, the interface sometimes felt a bit outdated, and the layout changed a lot depending on how each professor set up their course, so navigation wasn’t always consistent. But overall, Moodle helped me manage my classes effectively and stay on top of my academic work

Pros

What I liked most about Moodle was how easy it was to access everything I needed for my courses in one place. I could quickly find lecture slides, assignments, readings, and announcements without having to search through multiple platforms. I also liked that I could track my deadlines and see my grades as soon as professors posted them. Overall, it made staying organized and keeping up with my classes much easier.

Cons

What I liked least about Moodle was that the interface sometimes felt outdated and not very intuitive. Certain pages took a few extra clicks to find, and different professors organized their course pages in completely different ways, which made navigation inconsistent. I also found that notifications weren’t always reliable, so I had to double‑check things manually to make sure I didn’t miss updates or deadlines.

### "Moodle review"

May 4, 2026

4.0

Its been good overall, the app is simple and the colour/organization is very user friendly. I like the calendar feature where you can see all the deadlines all at once.

Pros

I liked the simple system. Its very customisable for the professors/ tutors, and the assignment submission and viewing grade is simple too.

Cons

The assignment deadlines notifications are so delayed, most of the time the notification doesnt even come through the app bit through emails. And the Emails arrive after the deadline passes which causes a big issue of missing the deadline.

### "Moodle LMS review - TW"

May 25, 2026

5.0

I have been using Moodle for 15 years on various platforms. It always works without any issues. Moodle is well supported and system updates are frequent.

Pros

Free open source. Can host it on your own server at minimal cost. Moodle documents is a great source for assistance. Does everything and more that I need from an LMS.

Cons

I find it hard to ID any issues I have with this software. The only thing I like least is the complexity of the System Admin user interface.

### "Moodle Bridges the Gap Between Student and Teacher Communication"

May 10, 2026

4.0

Overall, Moodle allowed me to easily check my grades, turn in assignments, and receive communication from professors in a timely fashion eve if I missed class. The interface was a little outdated but it had all the features you needed and rarely had any bugs.

Pros

Moodle was a great tool when it came to not only checking grades, but stuent-teacher interaction as well. Professors were able to communicate deadlines and whatnot to students, even if they were absent. When I used Moodle, it was always very easy to use, and never had many bugs or issues.

Cons

What I liked least about Moodle was the interface. It was very outdates, but it did everything that it needed to do. The features all worked but it was just an outdated system visually.

### "Moodle my structured digital classroom"

May 26, 2026

5.0

Rigorous organization of my learning. I know exactly what I need to do and when, and I have access to all the necessary resources without having to dig through my emails.

Pros

As a user in a learning context, I appreciate Moodle's modular structure. Everything is centralized: course materials, assignment submissions, and discussion forums. I particularly like being able to track my progress in a module thanks to the completion bars; it motivates me to keep going.

Cons

I must admit that the user interface often feels like it's from another era. It is very functional but cruelly lacks modernity and intuitiveness. On mobile, navigation can turn into a real labyrinth if the course isn't perfectly configured by the instructor.

### "Moodle A Great Tool"

May 23, 2026

5.0

Moodle is a great organization tool for teachers and students. 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.

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.

Moodle has been useful for managing training programs and internal learning content. It supports structured courses and gives good visibility on learner progress.

Pros

It’s flexible and customizable for different learning needs. Tracking progress and assessments is clear, and it works well for large groups of users.

### "The most interesting bridge between educators and students "

November 24, 2024

5.0

One of the best part of using moodle is that it can be easily accessed from any devices mostly from Android and iOS and by accessing a course just on the tip of your hand makes the learning process more flexible and efficient you can get to know about whatever course you want and whenever you want. We can do the classes and exchange our notes whenever I wants.

Pros

Moodle is interesting platform which helps educators and students to get connected with each other and learn from each other It mainly helps teachers to provide notes, lectures, videos related to the skilled and courses which they are providing and it also gives chances to their users to interact with each other and chat with them and discuss about the topic which is going on by the educator for better understanding.

Cons

Although I had a great using this platform but at the same time I would like to mention that moodle has Limited courses and while learning a particular course sometimes I have felt that the education and the information available in the platform is not enough so that anybody can rely on it completely for long learning experience.

November 29, 2024

I've used Moodle for over 5 years now. It has been pretty easy to learn, and when used knowledgeably, it can actually be a powerful software.

Pros

It is simple, affordable, and easy to implement.

Cons

It lacks some of the design appeal of competitors.

### "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.

### "A Flexible and Powerful LMS for Education"

November 12, 2024

5.0

Overall, Moodle has been a powerful tool for managing and delivering online courses. Despite the learning curve, it provides excellent functionality and flexibility once fully configured. The extensive plugins and integrations available also make it adaptable for various educational purposes.

Pros

The flexibility and customization options Moodle offers are fantastic. It allows users to design courses tailored to specific educational needs, and the open-source nature of the platform encourages innovation and community support.

Cons

The interface can feel outdated and less intuitive compared to other modern LMS platforms. Additionally, initial setup and configuration can be complex and time-consuming, especially for new users without technical experience. However, this can be resolved by hiring an official Moodle Partner, who can assist with setup, customization, and ongoing support.

March 2, 2026

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.
