Abstract
What is Moodle?
Moodle is an open source (free) Learning Content Management System that has gained an international reputation as a feature-rich and stable environment. There are now 18,880 sites in 168 countries using Moodle.
Moodle’s design is rooted in constructivism, an educational orientation that focuses on creating learning experiences rather than on just publishing and assessing the information that instructors think students need to know.
