Moodle is an Open Source Learning Management System (LMS) that is used by millions of people worldwide. Moodle is an acronym for 'Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment' and was originally developed by Martin Dougaimas in 2002. Today, Moodle has been adopted by over 230 countries where Moodle communities thrive. It is an open source platform, and so users benefit from a global community of developers who are actively engaged in improving the user experience.
At the most basic, Moodle gives educators tools to create a course site and provide access control so only enrolled students can view it. Moodle also offers a wide variety of tools that can make a course more effective. It provides an easy way to upload and share materials, hold online discussions and chats, give quizzes and surveys, gather and review assignments, and record grades.
