The document discusses Moodle, an open-source learning management system. It describes Moodle as a platform for building online courses using modular "bricks" like forums, assignments, quizzes and more. These bricks provide different ways for teachers and students to communicate, store information, evaluate understanding, and collaborate. Moodle has over 33 million users worldwide and its developers remain committed to open-source sharing and improvement of the platform.
Moodle is structured with a site at the top level containing categories to organize courses. Courses are then comprised of topics, resources, activities, and blocks. All parts of Moodle including the site, categories, courses, and their components are considered contexts where user roles can be assigned. The document outlines this structure and emphasizes that users have roles within contexts rather than being assigned globally in Moodle.
