Mohamed S. Teacher, 1,001 - 5,000 employees.

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. Review Source Sarah C. Independent Contractor and Edtech Expert Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. 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. Alexandre B. Usuário Aluno Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Review Source Response from Moodle February 25, 2026 Hi Alexandre, it would be interesting to know what version of Moodle your university is using and if they've updated it to the latest version, as we've made significant upgrades to the look and feel of Moodle over the past few years. We appreciate your time to give us your valuable feedback!

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.

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/) Reason for choosing Moodle Moodle offered more flexibility and control over course structure, user roles and reporting compared to Google Classroom. Review Source Response from Moodle February 25, 2026 Hello Junaid and thank you for taking the time to leave Moodle a review. Your insights are incredibly valuable to our team. ML Monica L. Teaching Assistant Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Functional but not incredible " May 12, 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. Switched from [Canvas](https://www.capterra.com/p/127214/CANVAS/) Different institutions that used different softwares.

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.

Cons The only negative experience I had/heard was that occasionally some upload issue would happen, avoiding/delaying task submissions. Review Source EE Emily E. Real Estate Development Affordable Housing Human Resources Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Review Source TJ Theresa J. Adjunct E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Moodle Review 2026" June 3, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Moodle has been positive. It provides a convenient way to access course content, submit assignments, communicate with students, and track progress in one platform. Pros I like that Moodle keeps course materials, assignments, grades, and discussions organized in one place, making it easy to access everything I need. Cons like that Moodle keeps course materials, assignments, grades, and discussions organized in one place, making it easy to access everything I need. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Student Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "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. Review Source Response from Moodle March 3, 2026 Thank you for this review!

Value for money. Help use a lot during Covid issues. Customer support is quick. Pros Easy to hover our different subjects and assignments. User and admin have different rights which can be edited per user. Cons Some bugs issues while uploading the test paper with secondary application for plagiarism check. Phone app not that great.

Pros All courses materials in one place Easy to submit assignment online Helps track deadline and progress Accessible anytime from phone to computer Cons Can be confusing at first for new users Sometimes slow or takes time to load Layout canfeel a bit outdated Notification arenot already clear Review Source JT Jasmine T. Teacher E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Needs integration but works fine" April 24, 2025 4.0 Moodle is okay but nothing special. If it were more integrated or had university-specific offerings, it would be better. Like I’ve never seen a platform just for engineering schools. Pros Moodle is a decent classroom management system. It never malfunctions and is user friendly for students. Cons Moodle does what it was designed to do but it doesn’t integrate easily with other platforms like Google or Microsoft, or even the school’s own resources like the library.

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