This page presents some ideas for a short Moodle features tour for newcomers to moodle.org (MDLSITE-2076). 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, any time, 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
- Award badges
- Direct your students' learning path:
- Get your students working and learning together in forums, wikis, glossaries and more:
- Assess and feedback with self-grading quizzes:
- Set them individual, group or anonymously graded assignments:
- Provide opportunities for them to peer and self assess in Workshops
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:
- Every Moodle site can link to Moodle.net, allowing teachers to download, adapt or offer enrolment in free courses shared worldwide. Why not help your locality with a hub of its own too?
