The document discusses simplifying the Moodle learning management system. It argues that while Moodle cannot be fully simplified, institutions can take steps to configure it based on their specific needs and processes. This involves defining common requirements, use cases, and process definitions. Modularity allows individualizing Moodle through customizing activities, blocks, and other features. The document provides examples of simplification steps like reducing blocks and roles, customizing permissions, question types, and other settings. While some complexity will always exist due to the nature of teaching and learning, properly scoping a Moodle configuration based on institutional needs can increase simplicity.
