About:
Moodle is a learning management system for producing Internet-based course Web sites. It is written in PHP and is easy to install and use on Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, SunOS, BSD, and Netware 6. It has been designed to support modern pedagogies based on social constructionist theory, and includes activity modules such as forums, chats, resources, journals, quizzes, surveys, choices, workshops, glossaries, lessons, and assignments. It has been translated into over 70 languages, with more on the way, and supports the popular SCORM standard for content packaging. Moodle offers a free alternative to commercial software such as WebCT or Blackboard, and is being used by a growing number of universities, schools, and independent teachers for distance education or to supplement face-to-face teaching.

Moodle is free, easy to use, install and maintain - a must for any educator serious about utilising the opportunities that technology affords.

As an educator for many years, I have to encourage you all to check out this piece of software. This guy deserves a medal.

This project rocks. It was easy to install, and it works well. Everything is laid out with a lot of thought, and the options make sense to a guy who has been teaching for a few years. Administration is easy to use for someone who is primarily a teacher but is "tech-friendly."
