About Moodle

Moodle is a free and open-source Learning Management System (LMS) designed to help educators, institutions, and organizations create, deliver, and manage online learning experiences. First released in 2002 by Martin Dougiamas, Moodle provides a flexible platform for teaching, training, and collaboration in educational and professional environments. Moodle enables instructors to build and organize courses, upload learning materials, create assignments and quizzes, conduct discussions through forums, manage grades, and track learner progress. Its modular architecture supports a wide range of plugins and integrations, allowing users to extend functionality with features such as video conferencing, analytics, gamification, certifications, and third-party educational tools. The platform supports both fully online and blended learning models and is used by schools, universities, businesses, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations worldwide. Moodle offers customizable themes, multilingual support, mobile access, role-based permissions, and strong accessibility features to accommodate diverse learning needs. Because it is open source, organizations can host Moodle on their own servers or use cloud-based hosting services, giving them greater control over data, customization, and scalability. Its active global community continuously contributes improvements, making Moodle one of the most widely adopted and trusted LMS platforms for digital education and training.
