### "My Experience with moodle"

March 7, 2024

3.0

Moodle is a software I came across when I really needed something with that functionality. It was during the pandemic times so it really spared me a lot of delay in my life by allowing me to continue my studies online and complete my degree eventually, regardless of the pandemic restrictions. It is easy to understand, it is convenient and it works well.

Pros

What I liked most was how convenient it was. Being apple to access it using my phone at anytime really made things quick and easy without the hassle of having to have my laptop with me at all times

Cons

What I liked least was the fact that it was not always easy to navigate the app. Sometimes I did struggle a bit finding certain things I was looking for in the app

### "Moodle pour l'E.S"

July 20, 2023

4.0

Globalement et d'une manière générale, Moodle est trop pratique pour les cours en ligne que nous disposant pour les utilisateurs.

Pros

l'aspets le plus avantageux que j'ai beaucoup apprécié avec Moodle, c'est la possibilité de délégation des tâches pour les enseignants et les responsables de groupes

Cons

Par contre ce que je n'ai pas beaucoup aimé pour Moodle c'est la manière d'édition des relevés de notes.

### "Got Us Online During Pandemic in Less Than 6 Days!"

April 1, 2024

5.0

Pros

We love our business relationship with our account manager—he handles things timely and understands our schools and their needs. Creating/uploading a course has gotten very simple. Integration with WooCommerce was a breeze. We love being able to customize the platform for our brands. We use Workspace and the regular Cloud Moodle. Workspace to supplement our programs with in-person training and Cloud Moodle for our online/live webinar continuing education courses.

Cons

Regular support with Moodle can take a while, especially with the back-and-forth emailing. They are not very proactive to jump on a call and figure it out together. However, when it gets painfully slow - our account manager speeds up the process.

### "Moodle-The Ultimate Learning Platform"

August 8, 2023

5.0

Moodle helps us track students’ submissions, participation in activities, which is very helpful. The benefit of Moodle is the easy of use, accessibility and multilingual support, gamification and engagement.

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.

Reason for choosing Moodle

The company chose Moodle, which was a wise choice.

### "Moodle: a time-tested LMS"

June 10, 2023

4.0

Very positive experience. Prefer it over Blackboard in many features.

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.

### "Moodle: Exploiting your potential with an Effective Digital Learning Tool"

April 15, 2023

5.0

In my experience I have worked several times with the moodle tool both as a student doing several diploma courses and as a professor at the university where I teach and it is a tool that if you like to investigate, test and experiment with the tools has a very wide field of possibilities.

Pros

moodle is one of the best among many e-learning tools, as well as being open source and with many customizable features adapting to the teaching models you wish to implement. Another point to highlight is that it has an extensive community that helps to develop teaching ideas being able to adapt the contents in a more efficient way.Highlighting that you can add content created in html and scorm format which allows you to develop better courses.

Cons

What I liked most about Moodle was its flexibility and customization. The platform allows instructors to tailor it to the specific needs of their course, which makes learning more effective and relevant.Although Moodle offers many useful features, there is also one thing that needs to be worked on is that it has a linear structure which can sometimes cause the student to lose a bit of interest, so the teacher will need to make the content engaging for the student.

Alternatives considered

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

Reason for choosing Moodle

Being able to include content such as html, scorm among others allowed me to improve the experience of my students as well as my learning.

In general, my experience has been good and it has been a very useful tool during the pandemic, allowing educational continuity.

Pros

Scalable system in terms of the number of students. Accessibility and compatibility from any web browser.

Cons

There are disadvantages associated with security. A failure in the servers or a drop in the internet service can leave the user disabled.

### "Moodle plataforma para educación digital "

November 26, 2022

4.0

Usando Moodle es una experiencia muy grata ya que facilita el proceso de aprendizaje en línea o mixto, facilita la subida de trabajos y desarrollo de evaluaciones.

Pros

Lo más llamativo del software es su versatilidad para configurar cada uno de los módulos dentro de un cursó y a su vez el tiempo de respuesta que este proporciona.

Cons

Considero que se debería mejorar la presentación a nivel visual para que sea más llamativa e intuitiva.

### "Moodle for higher studies"

August 19, 2023

5.0

As per the overall picture, very useful application for educational institutes and also for the students.

Pros

Since my university period, this was the application which I used most. As an learning management system, almost all the universities and higher education institutes uses this application. Starting from an online lecture, Moodle can manage assignments distribute course contents, manage assignments etc.

Cons

It would be better if they can countermize the search box of the application.

### "Functional E-learning with Moodle for contact and distance learning"

October 31, 2023

4.0

Overall the platform does what it's supposed to do, which is to digitize learning and bring convenience to students. Even though the platform is outdated, it does serve its purpose.

Pros

We had different courses and learning materials from different teachers, so the platform was definitely expansive for students who are unable to process information quickly in class for them to be able to review the lesson in the comfort of their own space. The platform served its purpose, and as learners we were proud to be the first users in our district to be using a Learning systems management platform, and with little training, the students were able to navigate the platform seamlessly.

Cons

The user interface could do with some upgrading, the platform even though it serves its purpose, it is quite outdated and doesn't correlate with the technology/ software of today. The platform also appeared to be less intuitive and a bit buggy.

### "Moodle makes my mood(le) "

December 13, 2023

5.0

Pros

Moodle is a learning platform that provided me with many qualitative opportunities during hours of studying and preparing for exams for the uni. It had a recent update and now even personal organization of the dashboard is possible through selection of preffered tools and their order. Everything I need for the lectures is there: - dashboard of lectures, exams and recently opened docs - teachers are uploading presentations and other useful materials - both digital classroom and exams are possible and work well - forums for questions and answers for each lecture

Cons

It's hard to think of a con in the functionality. Maybe an optimization can be made in the interface, it can have a bit more color or eye catching design features.

### "The platform that makes virtual learning life easier"

October 23, 2023

4.0

I have had a very good experience with the platform, it is excellent, I like the way the exams are assigned and the different forms of qualification that it offers us.

Pros

It is an excellent platform, it is very easy to manage and administer the resources from it, students find it very easy to use and the resources are always available

Cons

The platform is really very complete, but if you could add something it would be a way to hold virtual conferences directly with another app or for it to include it as other providers do.

June 5, 2023

5.0

Ofrece ventajas puntuales en lo eferente a capacitación del personal, y evaluación del mismo, generando pequeños cursos que facilitan la formación y preparación del personal para diferentes desafíos y situaciones.

Pros

El programa es relativamente fácil de usar claro está siguiendo una guía inicial para familiarizarse debido a que ciertas operaciones no son tan ´lógicas´ como aparentan. La facilidad de crear cursos y aulas y hacer interactivas las presentaciones hacer el aprendizaje y enseñanza tengan mayor alcance en todo sentido.

Cons

Podría decirse que una desventaja de esta plataforma es que muchas veces se ´cuelga´ y afecta el proceso de emisión de información y de entrega de pendientes, y dicho detalle podría mejorarse en nuevas actualizaciones.

Reason for choosing Moodle

Debido a la experiencia con el uso y manejo de Moodle a nivel a académico, se dedujo que era la mejor opción, tras experimentar también con otra plataformas similares.
