{{About Moodle}}
#REDIRECT [[About_Moodle]]
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 and experiences.
 
==Built for learning, globally==
 
===Proven and trusted worldwide===
Powering [https://moodle.org/stats/ tens of thousands of learning environments globally], Moodle is trusted by institutions and organisations large and small, including Shell, London School of Economics, State University of New York, Microsoft and the Open University. Moodle’s worldwide numbers of more than [https://moodle.org/stats/ 65 million users] across both academic and enterprise level usage makes it the world’s most widely used learning platform.
 
===Designed to support both teaching and learning===
With over 10 years of development guided by [[Philosophy|social constructionist pedagogy]], Moodle delivers a powerful set of learner-centric tools and collaborative learning environments that empower both teaching and learning.
 
===Easy to use===
A simple interface, drag-and-drop features, and [[Main page|well-documented resources]] along with ongoing usability improvements make Moodle easy to learn and use.
 
===Free with no licensing fees===
Anyone can adapt, extend or modify Moodle for both commercial and non-commercial projects without any licensing fees under the terms of the [https://docs.moodle.org/dev/License/ GNU General Public License], and benefit from the cost-efficiencies, flexibility and other advantages of using Moodle.
 
===Always up-to-date===
The Moodle project’s open-source approach means that Moodle is continually being reviewed and improved on to suit the current and evolving needs of its users.
 
===Moodle in your language===
Moodle’s multilingual capabilities ensure there are no linguistic limitations to learning online. The Moodle community has translated Moodle into more than 95 languages (and counting) so users can easily localise their Moodle site, along with plenty of resources, support and community discussions available in various languages.
 
==All-in-one learning platform==
Moodle provides the most flexible toolset to support both blended learning and 100% online courses. Configure Moodle by enabling or disabling core features, and easily integrate everything needed for a course using its complete range of built-in features, including external collaborative tools such as forums, wikis, chats and blogs.
 
==Highly flexible and fully customisable==
Because it is open-source, Moodle can be customised in any way and tailored to individual needs. Its modular set up and interoperable design allows developers to create plugins and integrate external applications to achieve specific functionalities. Extend what Moodle does by using freely available plugins and add-ons - the possibilities are endless!
 
==Scalable to any size==
From a few students to millions of users, Moodle can be scaled to support the needs of both small classes and large organisations. Because of its flexibility and scalability, Moodle has been adapted for use across education, business, non-profit, government, and community contexts.
 
==Robust, secure and private==
Committed to safeguarding data security and user privacy, security controls are constantly being updated and implemented in Moodle development processes and software to protect against unauthorised access, data loss and misuse. Moodle can be easily deployed on a private secure cloud or server for complete control.
 
==Use anytime, anywhere, on any device==
Moodle is web-based and so can be accessed from anywhere in the world. With a default mobile-compatible (soon to be responsive) interface and cross-browser compatibility, content on the Moodle platform is easily accessible and consistent across different web browsers and devices.
 
==Extensive resources available==
Access extensive Moodle documentation and user forums in multiple languages, free content and courses shared by Moodle users across the world, as well as hundreds of plugins and add-ons contributed by a large global community.
 
==Backed by a strong community==
The Moodle project is well-supported by an active international community, a team of dedicated full-time developers and a network of certified [[Moodle Partners]]. Driven by open collaboration and great community support, the project continues to achieve rapid bug fixes and improvements, with major new releases every six months.
