'''[[Moodle]]''' is a [http://download.moodle.org/ software package] for producing [[Internet-based]] courses and web sites. It is a global development project designed to support a [[Philosophy|social constructionist]] [[framework]] of [[Media:Example.ogg]]education.<br />

Moodle can be [[Installing Moodle|installed]] on any computer that can run [http://www.php.net/ PHP], and can support an SQL type database (for example [http://www.mysql.com/ MySQL]). It can be run on [[Complete_install_packages|Windows and Mac]] operating systems and many flavors of linux (for example [[RedHat Linux installation| Red Hat]] or [[Debian GNU/Linux installation|Debian GNU]]).

<br />
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.<br />

<div>{{Teacher documentation}}<br />
Welcome! The purpose of this page is to provide educators with a brief overview of teaching and learning with Moodle and useful links by general topics.<br />
<br />
==Moodle principles== <br />
<br />
'''The design and development of Moodle has been guided''' by a [https://docs.moodle.org/en/Philosophy social constructionist] theory and practice of teaching and learning. While Moodle can be and is used to support a number of other pedagogical and andragogical approaches, the core Moodle package will continue to be built with these [[five key principles]] in mind.<br />
<br />
*[[Pedagogy|Moodle Pedagogy]]<br />
<br />
==Moodle in education and training==<br />
<br />
Although initially designed for higher education environment (university), Moodle has quickly become used across a broad range of organisations worldwide to conduct courses fully online or support face-to-face teaching and learning. <br />
<br />
Its modularity, flexibility, security and free availability have attracted learning communities ranging from single primary school classrooms to large universities, businesses, government departments and other places where people learn. <br />
