Moodle

Moodle is an open source learning management system used by schools, universities, and organizations that need customizable course delivery, compliance training, and learner administration.

What is Moodle?

Moodle is one of the most widely deployed open source learning management systems in the world. It supports course creation, quizzes, grading, compliance training, and cohort management with broad plugin extensibility. That flexibility attracts educational institutions and enterprises that want to own their learning environment. The trade-off is implementation burden: course design, theming, hosting, and upgrade management all require deliberate ownership.
