Moodle is a software package for producing internet-based courses and web sites. It's an ongoing development project designed to support a social constructionist framework of education.
The word Moodle was originally an acronym for Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment, which is mostly useful to programmers and education theorists. It's also a verb that describes the process of lazily meandering through something, doing things as it occurs to you to do them, an enjoyable tinkering that often leads to insight and creativity. As such it applies both to the way Moodle was developed, and to the way a student or teacher might approach studying or teaching an online course. Anyone who uses Moodle is a Moodler.
For further information, including details of the philosophy and background of Moodle, see the documentation about Moodle.
The Moodle Features Demo Course provides examples of Moodle activities for you to explore as a student (also available in other languages - see the Moodle demonstration courses category).
For a full demo of Moodle as a teacher or administrator, please visit the Moodle Demonstration Site.
