Welcome to Moodle!

Welcome to Moodle! current

Moodle is a course management system (CMS) - a free, Open Source software package designed using sound pedagogical principles, to help educators create effective online learning communities. You can download and use it on any computer you have handy (including webhosts), yet it can scale from a single-teacher site to a 50,000-student University. This site itself is created using Moodle, so check out the Moodle Demonstration Courses or read the latest Moodle Buzz.

Moodle Development

Moodle Development current

We have a long list of developers who contribute towards the development of Moodle. Start with our developer information as well as the roadmap, the coding guide and CVS guide to access our [source code]. Most discussion can be found in Using Moodle, but we also have a Tracker where you should report general bugs, feature requests, fixes and other issues. Sensitive security problems should be posted to the Moodle Security site, so we can deal with them appropriately.
