Offers customized features that allow us to see whether students visited the platform and watched the provided videos

Pros

"The monitoring aspect is important for students."

Cons

"An improvement would be to have it support physically challenged students, who we think should be able to participate in some of our courses. "

A highly flexible and customizable learning management system with a wide range of features, providing educators with the tools to create engaging and interactive online courses

Pros

"The customization features of Moodle significantly enhance the learning experience for our users. "

Cons

"One aspect that I found a bit confusing was the dual editing system, where you could edit the layout of the course separately from editing the content."

Inexpensive and pretty easy to use, but not easily adaptable for an individual

Pros

"It is relatively easy to use to build processes for establishing and conducting work within the templates that are used. It is not that hard to follow along or use, and it is pretty simple to pick it up and run with it. "

Cons

"The ability to input modified, individual, independent grades in a grade center component is not just hard. It almost always requires you to get tech involved. When you're dealing with a learning system where you have people in an open enrollment with all different levels of learning modes or methodologies, and as well as a worldwide student body, you end up with situations where you have to absolutely exempt somebody from a grade or an assignment and enter a new, different kind of assignment because of their skillset or lack thereof. You can't do that in Moodle. It is virtually impossible to do that in Moodle without having a tech do it for you, and when you have to have that level of tech support, it becomes problematic. They need to fix the grade book center. It is the part where you do evaluations. They need to fix it so that the individual professors can make changes directly without having to get a hold of tech support to do it for them."

An open-source, robust, and flexible learning platform with numerous third-party solution providers

Pros

"A really nice thing about Moodle is that it is very robust and flexible, and one of the big advantages of Moodle is that it is open source. It also has a lot of free documentation. "

Cons

"Moodle Mobile is a really good area for improvement. All of 4.0 hasn't been released yet, and Moodle Mobile is not yet available for all different devices. "

Provides a lot of flexibility, helps in creating training for all types of learners, and supports backup in an industry-standard format

Pros

"One of my biggest pet peeves is that many LMSs do not offer a course or site-level backup that is an industry-standard file. So, if you decide you don't like Moodle or some other LMS, you should be able to back up all your data and take it and go somewhere else. Moodle does offer that. There are several others that do that as well, but there are some LMSs that don't, which isn't a very good business practice because they hold their clients hostage. That's one of the things I really like about Moodle."

Cons

"Where Moodle could definitely improve is the user interface. You have a lot of themes and you can customize themes, but if you are going to use Moodle off the shelf, even with a hosting company, a lot of training is involved. Training is available, but if your faculty or your development team isn't highly technical, it's going to be a challenge, whereas there are other interfaces that are much easier, but they don't do as much. So, there is a give and take there. If Moodle could find a way to make the user interface for the instructional designers and the learners more intuitive, it probably would be a huge improvement. The manager area and the admin area are fine, but when it comes to the people who are using the system but might not be highly technical, it needs improvement."

Has good technical support services and an ability to import and export documents in multiple formats

Pros

"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to import and export documents for courses, assessments, and questionnaires in any format. "

Cons

"Sometimes, the gradebook can get broken if an incorrect formula is entered during creation."

Plenty of modules, highly flexible, and advantageous different user types

Pros

"What I liked most about Moodle was that I could create nice online quizzes. It takes very little time to do. You don't have to even read the paper, it automatically evaluates the quizzes. It gives the student grades and provides a lot of useful statistics. For example, it indicates which question was the hardest, easiest, and where students made the most mistakes. Everything is available to you. You couldn't do this in regular paper test hard copies. This was my first use case."

Cons

"It would be a benefit if there was an easy single sign-on with social media services for Moodle. There are some plugins that I tried, but they didn't work seamlessly. it is a work in progress. Having the single sign-on with social media services would be appreciated because in my school we are using Google suite and the main reason why we use Google Classroom is that it is integrated seamlessly with the suite."

A flexible and customizable environment providing reliability and scalability, and fostering interactive and personalized online learning experiences

Pros

"One of the most valuable aspects is the ability to input data into the model."

Cons

"Sometimes, discrepancies arise when the information is not updated or lacks precision, potentially leading to the model producing misleading or incorrect outputs based on its training."
