2. Introduction
• Moodle is a learning platform designed to
provide educators, administrators and
learners with a single robust, secure and
integrated system to create personalised
learning environments

3. Cont.,
• Moodle is a free, online learning management
system enabling educators to create their own
private website filled with dynamic courses
that extend learning, any time, anywhere.
• Whether you are a teacher, student or
administrator. Moodle can meet your needs.
Moodle’s extremely customisable core comes
with many standard features.

4. BENEFITS OF MOODLE
1.Open Source
• Moodle is an open source platform, which
means that its source code is accessible to all.
It is distributed under the General Public
License. In simple terms, users and
administrators can freely run, share, and alter
it to meet their particular commercial or non-
commercial needs. Apart from this, users can
also share the altered version.

5. 2.Cost-effective
• If you ask me what is that one thing that
makes Moodle popular, I would say that it’s
FREE. Yes, you read it right – it’s absolutely
FREE. You need not pay any license fee to own
a Moodle Learning Management System. You
will only have to pay the development and
maintenance costs. Isn’t this great news if you
have been planning to invest in an LMS?

6. 3.Simple Interface
• You will find Moodle to be quite user-friendly.
This is because of its simple interface and
intuitive navigation, which consists of only
three distinct columns. All you training courses
can be accessed from the middle column. The
good news is that, it is based on HTML5 and
designed to be responsive, so you can access
it on any mobile device.

7. 4. Easy to Customize
• Software platforms such as an LMS need
customization to fit your organization’s
requirements. You need your company name,
logo, and your brand colors to make it look as
your training management platform rather
than a random website. Doing this with
Moodle is quite easy.

8. 5. Offline Access
• Moodle, you get the offline access feature,
which allows your remote employees to
download courses to their devices and access
them offline, later.

9. MOOCs Vs MOODLE
• Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in an
Online Course aimed at unlimited
participation and open access via the web.
• Moodle is a free, online learning management
system enabling educators to create their own
private website filled with dynamic courses
that extend learning anytime and anywhere.
