Takes some getting used to
What do you like best about the product?
Moodle is fairly easy to access, and more or less simple to navigate.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are many spelling errors in the program due to its origin in another country. The navigation appears to be backwards of what we're used to here in the US.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Moodle for district-wide professional development classes. It's easy to coordinate with teachers in other buildings without too much extra effort.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Explore its options before diving in to participate or create a class. Many of the options seem to be simple, but work in an "inverted" way. For example, the "breadcrumbs" at the top of each navigation page don't go in the order in which the pages are navigated. They, many times, are either backwards or in a seemingly inverted order. Also, there are many spelling errors in the site due to translation.

Good tool for interacting with students
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to set up weekly learning objectives. Can include discussions/forums, required reading, presentations, links to videos and other materials, and quizzes. Additionally, students can easily upload assignments. It is a great organizational tool. Students can log onto Moodle from anywhere to access the weekly schedule. Moodle also has a Quickmail option for emailing one or more students.
What do you dislike about the product?
Course set-up is not 100% intuitive. I often need to access the help option. Also, cannot copy text formatting from one week to the next. For example, if I copy text that is bolded and a larger size, it will paste using the default formatting which is not bold and a smaller size.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Moodle saves time by keeping me organized. I no longer need to refer to my syllabus or search my email looking for student assignments. Everything is in one place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I prefer Moodle over Blackboard.
Moodle for Educators
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ease of editing. It is great when things change for a class or lesson and it is easy for both educators and their students to use and navigate
What do you dislike about the product?
I am not a big fan of the layout of Moodle itself and wish it had more options for spruce it up and make it easier on the eye.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am currently using moodle to "go green" and transform all of my lessons and assignments to computer based and getting away from writing. This benefits me from keeping my students updated on assignments and important class information and allows me to set deadlines and see when students hand in their work.
Open Source Learning Management System
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Moodle is free and open source, so it can be adapted for many needs. My favorite feature is that it works with Examview test software.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the system can be hard to figure out exactly how to complete certain tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a free online learning management system. We love that it is free and hosted through our local district.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You will need a place to host Moodle.
I am using Moodle since 2011
What do you like best about the product?
I like most the details of creating Quiz, Submit Assignments online.
What do you dislike about the product?
A little customization takes a lot of time to understand the code.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used it to completes our Resident Assessments, so used the quiz engine for creating multiple questions and keep track of answers for future planning
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Highly recommend to colleges/universities.
Moodle moods
What do you like best about the product?
It's incredibly user friendly. I've used other LMS; moodle is second to none
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a lot of features I don't use, and that can be a tad cumbersome
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Efficiently in general has increased
Moodle is Awsome
What do you like best about the product?
Its free without the hassle that usually brings, that is number one for any business. Second is it is solid and robust. It is a system that can handle any amount of users and can be scaled for huge numbers of students with the right hardware supporting it. From a single high school teacher to a entire university, this system can scale and is easy to operate.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes 3rd party plugins are not as good as one would hope, but this is also what makes Moodle great is the 3rd party developer community.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cost and functionality. Moodle is able to directly link with my registration system that handles payments and controls access as well as course creation. This means only those who should have access have it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get it and use it, it is highly adaptable for most training environments.
Solid LMS but a bit challenging to customize for usability
What do you like best about the product?
I like that my students can see their grades and that I can post assignments relatively easily. There are many options for different types of grading systems. It's open source so apparently it gives some cost savings to blackboard.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is a bit wonky. I always want to edit course material and never just view the site but there is no way to set edit mode the default view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need an online LMS. We seem to have saved some money by switching from Blackboard.
Many benefits to customize and contain necessary information for classroom environment!
What do you like best about the product?
We use Moodle with a multitude of our clients, who all have various needs and requirements, so the ease of customization is great! It is also very intuitive to navigate for both our employees and our clients (teachers and students at colleges).
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a little difficult for a first time professor to navigate the Moodle environment, without access to a skilled resource who is more familiar.
In general, I dislike the way to group/search for students. As it is now, you have to search for students within a particular course, rather than pulling all students from all courses at a given time.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to provide meaningful content and a system for our professors to update their courses and curriculum.
Moodle for free???
What do you like best about the product?
I use Moodle at a community college that I teach at. I have taught on Moodle for the past 8 yeas, and it has been an enjoyable experience. I like that all of Moodle is extremely customizable. The platform can be tailored to fit the need of each individual instructor within the school, as well as different add ons to support learning. I also like that it is open source, so as new tools are developed by individuals, they can be shared elsewhere. I currently enjoy using the sharing cart. This is a tool that copies content from one course to another. The sharing cart will allow you to copy to as many courses as you want, with the ability to select the exact location in the course you want the item to live. Also, the testing features are top notch. I can set user exceptions for testing, as well as enhanced due dates, restrictions, and permissions.
What do you dislike about the product?
In the past, I have heard that Moodle is "clunky". I feel like it has the ability to be clunky, but if you take the time to fully support it then it has a nice feel to it as you can customize everything about it. The only negative I see is the need to self host the platform. You need to have your own servers and the ability to understand a software deployment in order to make Moodle a success.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The school needed a Learning Management System in order to bring courses online. Moodle solved the problem while not costing money.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you have the in-house staff to make the implementation a success
Update the themes to fit your need
Look at other providers who might host it for you.
