Jmol is open-source Java software for interactive 3D viewing of molecular structures. It can easily be embedded into a webpage... including a Moodle page.
The Moodle Jmol filter is recently developed but comes as a single download and is easy to use and install.
The Jmol filter is very useful for including a molecule viewer in a variety of situations - e.g. in a Label, a Forum discussion, or a Quiz question. If you wish to load a molecule data file as a "resource", you should also consider installing the Jmol resource module.
It requires no additional capability on your web server, but is a Java applet, added to the page with JavaScript controls, so requires both Java and a JavaScript-enabled browser for the user.
