This page presents some ideas for a Moodle features tour. If you have any ideas for improvement please add them to the talk page by clicking on page comments
Moodle is a free, online Learning Management system enabling educators to create their own private website filled with dynamic courses that extend learning, anytime, anywhere. Whether you're a teacher, student or administrator, Moodle can meet your needs. Come and take a look!
Are you a teacher?
In Moodle you can...
- Drag your favourite teaching resources straight onto the page:
- Search for and embed multimedia at the click of a button:
- Moodle's easy to use text editor makes formatting your courses a pleasure,with customisable edit icons and built-in image, sound and video embedding.
- Get your students working and learning together:
- From forums to collaborative wikis and glossaries, from comment boxes to private messaging, Moodle offers your students a number of ways to make their voice heard.
- Assess and feedback with self-grading quizzes:
- A wide range of standard and contributed question types make for a powerful tool for both formative and summative assessment.
- Set them individual, group or anonymously graded assignments:
- Students can submit anything from a short text-based task to a team project with multiple files, and you can grade with a single precentage or a complex, customised rubric.
- Provide opportunities for them to peer and self assess:
- Workshops challenge your class to evalulate their own and others' submissions according to criteria decided by you.
- Direct their learning path:
- Let students meander freely around your course or restrict their access dependent on criteria met, time or profile fields; it's your choice!
Are you a student?
In Moodle you can...
- Manage your files however and wherever you like:
- Store your files in your personal files area or access them from Google, Dropbox, Flickr, Youtube, Skydrive...
- Track your progress on each log in:
- Checkboxes against every task remind you how far you've come
- create your own personal dashboard:
- The customisable My Home page gives quick access to courses, work owing, online users or other items you choose to add.
Are you an administrator?
In Moodle you can...
- Authenticate and enrol your users in a variety of ways:
- Moodle's 50+ combined standard and contributed authentication and enrolment solutions give you vast scope for getting everyone online!
- Create an attractive, mobile-friendly learning environment which can integrate with your website:
- Choose themes for different devices; add your own CSS, custom HTML and logo, all from within the admin interface
- Enhance your Moodle with contributed plugins that you can update from inside your site:
- Over 460 community generated extensions ranging from video conferencing to plagiarism detection are freely available. And if you can't find it, request it!
- Sign up to Community Hubs sharing free courses:
