5. Moodle is many things but it can never truly replace the instructor role.
The student instructor relationship is the foundation of all educational
endeavors. The CBT, Business and General Ed instructor serves as a
central figure head in ensuring that their students are meeting course
objectives and turning in assignments on time.
Moodle Can’t Do:
1. Grade user uploaded assignments i.e. reports, projects and short responses
since these are subjective.
2. Moodle can't force a student to learn materials, do their homework and turn in
assignments on time.
3. Replace the instructor

6. Moodle is a powerful tool when used properly to deliver instructional
materials.
Moodle gives the CBT instructors flexibility by allowing students to go
at their own pace by allowing them to breeze through topics which
they are familiar with and spend more time on topics which they are
weaker in.
Moodle gives distance education students 24/7 access to their course
discussions and study resources.
Moodle can never truly replace the importance of instructor
interaction.
