==Why this?==
There is no single, quality source to gather research about Moodle (and LMS/VLE in general, with mentions of Moodle). A page one can point to when asked: 'What does the research say about Moodle?'


==What to include?==
Links to pieces of quality academic research about design and use of Moodle and LMS/VLE in general. This includes papers, articles, reports, theses, case studies, videos and similar material. See How to include? section on the format.
==What NOT to include?==
Blog posts (unless highly relevant and contain quality references [>3 as a base] to this topic), tutorials, 'how to' videos, newspaper articles (if a study quoted, go to the original source instead)
==How to include & citation format?==
You will not lose any credit if you don't cite works with absolute precision to a particular style ;-) Whether you use [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parenthetical_referencing Harvard style] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APA_style APA style], simply mention the author(s), date, title, source of publication and a *link to publication* for others to access. Something like this will do just fine:
Smith, J (2011) Research review of Moodle in educational institutions. [https://docs.moodle.org/Moodle_research Moodle Magazine No.1]
==Should I annotate and explain more about the work(s) I list?==
Please do, but NOT on this page or it will become huge. Create a new wiki page for it, like this:
* 1) Copy the TITLE of the work you are listing
Example: Sample Title of A Moodle Related Government Report
* 2) Go to URL/web address window and type it after https://docs.moodle.org/en/
Example: https://docs.moodle.org/en/Sample Title of A Moodle Related Government Report
* 3) Click Enter/Return and a new wiki page with this title will be created.
* 4) Edit the page with (your) annotations, perhaps a copy of the abstract or conclusion(s) to give the reader a 'preview' of what the material is about. ***Please observe the copyright provisions of all material at all times.
