Why would an instructor choose Moodle?
Moodle was designed to support a more collaborative and participative teaching and learning environment. As an open source system, local technologists have the ability to customize Moodle to meet the unique needs in their department, school, or college. In addition to the common tools described in the Introduction, Moodle provides the following: • Tools that facilitate activities such as peer evaluation, peer commenting, and group work • More choices of course formats and design templates • Specialized support for math/science notation* • Specialized support for foreign languages, including voice recording* * These features are not standard to Moodle but are available in certain departments. Please check with your local Moodle provider for further details.
