10. Origin & Background
Moodle was originally
developed by Martin
Dougiamas, a WebCT
administrator in Curtin
University, Australia.
His work resulted in the
use of an open source
internet-based software
to support a social
constructivist learning and
teaching theory.

11. Moodle promotes a social constructionist pedagogy through collaboration,
different activities, critical reflection, etc.
Its structure and tools are suitable for online classes and also to supplement
classroom learning (F2F).
It has a simple interface and compatible technology.
General Characteristics
The creation of an institutional repository emerged as a necessity to store in
one open place all the material generated in the Faculty, materials that
deserve to be widely accessible in a comprehensive manner.
Therefore, Moodle creators began to implement a repository using DSpace,
an open source application that provides extensive functionality to manage
resources .
