Go-to learning tool for projects and employees
Pros
There is no other software you should consider when looking at an eLearning tool. Specially in private projects (for training and handover) or for employees skill advancement inside the company. I particularly appreciate the possibility of adding scoring test during the courses, so we can draw a line of skill improvements over time.
Cons
It is still time consuming to build learning modules. Also, theming is poor if you are looking into a full customisation that doesn't look like Moodle out-of-the-box. Get someone skilled that can help you build more advanced features or integrate it seamlessly in your intranet/portal.

Moodle Review
Not the best, always caused issues, disorganized
Pros
It is a good idea to use a shared platform access by teachers and students
Cons
I used Moodle in Univeristy when we switched online due to COVID. The organization was very confusing. Every professor could put information in different sections, there was no continuity amongst how to organize the pages. It seemed that there were too many options for how the platform could be organized/arranged, causing much confusion and messing up the notifications/way you navigate the page

Moodle is for ME!
Overall, I love using moodle and require all employees to take training courses on this platform.
Pros
Moodle has been the most successful platform for Early Childhood Educators to take trainings on. It is extremely easy to navigate, even for our elderly workers. Moodle is self-paced, meaning if there are four modules and a staff member only has time to complete 2/4, they can stop and then pick up where they left off as time allows. You are also able to go back and print certificates at a later time, if needed.
Cons
The only con we have experienced is that although the work is self paced, if you are in the middle of a module and lose connection to the internet, it does not save where you were within that module and you have to start from the begining.

Great product!
My overall experience with moodle was great! It took a bit of getting used to since I had used other online learning software in the past, but one I familiarized myself with the program it was easy to use to aid in my learning.
Pros
Easy to navigate and access coursework to aid in student learning.
Cons
The layout and technology is a bit different than other online learning programs which I have used.

Moodle, better for students or teachers?
I have 2 or 3 years using it, and its good for what it is used for, like turning in assignments, but no so good that I spend all my time using it
Pros
I really like must the calendar function, or like programming an exam to certain time, and how you can organize your semester in partials and also in subthemes, its like the best functionality
Cons
I think it´s the design, that isnt like minimalist, and for the first time it´s difficult to understand, also like some small components like icons

An advanced learning management system that allows for collaboration and is beneficial in...
Moodle was very easy to navigate and to access course materials. The community forum also helped with collaboration for assignments and engaging in conversations that would otherwise be difficult in a virtual medium.
Pros
Used in higher level education for managing access and content of courses. Interface was simple and easy to navigate. Allowed for ease with downloading, uploading, and submitting documents. Community forum was also very helpful for engagement and collaboration with classmates.
Cons
No cons noticed with experience with Moodle so far.

Learning with Moodle
Overall, I've a great time using Moodle. Inorder to organize coursework and monitoring marks, it's a useful tool. I value the flexibility it provides. Moodle could be even more user-friendly for students with a few UI upgrades, but it's still a good tool for online education.
Pros
As a daily user, I appreciate Moodle most for keeping all of my assignments and course materials in one location. It's simpler for me to keep up with my studies when I can access lecture notes, assignments, and grades whenever I like to. The calendar feature also aids with workload management and helps me keep track of deadlines.
Cons
The UI sometimes feels slightly confusing, particularly when looking for older assignments or resources. It might be easy to overlook significant updates from academics. Additionally, I've experienced difficulties while posting assignments because of trouble if the file size is too big.

Great software for inside training
I am really happy with that solution. Even given the security concerns, it is ran locally on our servers and we did some work to get that secured. We do have a lot of great experience with that software and it helps us develop skills and learn new things every day!
Pros
It is free, fully customizable software that allows your team to develop a lot of quizzes! It it pretty easy to setup (if you have basic web development knowledge) if you want to do it yourself, but as far as I know you could just buy a tenant on their hosting and use it straight from there! Amount of customizations you can do there is amazing! From basic configuration things, to custom code you can provide there. Me and my team love it, when we educate ourselves about many different things!
Cons
It is still an open-source software, so I am concerned about security of this solution.

The Impact of Moodle on Undergraduate Learning and Engagement
As an undergraduate, my overall experience with Moodle has been a mix of positive and challenging aspects.Overall, moodle has been a valuable tool in my undergraduate studies, providing a comprehensive and flexible platform that supports various aspects of the educational experience. Despite some challenges, the benefits of Moodle in terms of resource centralization, interactive learning, and progress tracking have significantly contributed to my academic success and engagement.
Pros
Easy access to all course materials in one place.
Access course materials anytime and anywhere.
Forums, quizzes, and surveys enhance engagement.
Efficient assignment submission.
Cons
Mobile app lacks some functionality and can be less reliable than the desktop version.
It Requires a stable internet connection, which can be a challenge for me.

One of the best LMS of Online University
LMS such as Moodle is one of the greatest things a university could ever rely to on times when unexpected things happened not just in a certain country but all over the world. I can't imagine what it would be like to continue studying without such help, it would be harder for sure. I appreciate how Moodle was both easy for the students and professors to navigate.
Pros
The transition of face to face classes to online classes was full of both pros and cons. It was a bit hard and I could imagine how it could be harder more so if Moodle isn't there to help our professors. It was so easy to use Moodle, it is not as intimidating as other LMS that are too complicated, something that could add more stress to the students. It was a straight-to-the-point kind of app that is indeed beginner friendly.
Cons
There is nothing I can say against Moodle because I only have a memory of it being nothing but helpful to us students who were having a hard time transitioning from face to face classes to online classes.

Great for Annual Mamdatories
We have used the free moodle service and also the paid cloud version. The free service was great for the yearly mandatories we had. The reporting available was exactly what we needed.
Pros
The bulk uploading of information is convenient. We use moodle for clinical testing and staff yearly mandatories.
Cons
The customer service takes quite awhile to get back to you, along with coming up with solutions. The system can be very laggy at times.

Moodle is pretty decent for quizzes and courses and has been the goto for all my courses but it's kinda showing it's age, but at the same time there's not really any alternative aside from maybe canvas, it's alright.

There is a limit to how many users can be quizzed at once

Got Us Online During Pandemic in Less Than 6 Days!
Pros
We love our business relationship with our account manager—he handles things timely and understands our schools and their needs. Creating/uploading a course has gotten very simple. Integration with WooCommerce was a breeze. We love being able to customize the platform for our brands. We use Workspace and the regular Cloud Moodle. Workspace to supplement our programs with in-person training and Cloud Moodle for our online/live webinar continuing education courses.
Cons
Regular support with Moodle can take a while, especially with the back-and-forth emailing. They are not very proactive to jump on a call and figure it out together. However, when it gets painfully slow - our account manager speeds up the process.

Flexible, Customizable, and Reliable
As a long-time user of Moodle, I can genuinely say it’s one of the best tools out there for managing online learning and course delivery. From the start, Moodle impressed me with its flexibility and extensive features that make teaching and learning easy and engaging. Setting up a course and adding resources is intuitive, and I love that I can customize it to meet my course needs, whether it’s a small class or a large lecture series.
Pros
It has many great features such as; being mobile-friendly, highly customizable and flexible, strong security and privacy, and community support that shares resources, troubleshooting guides, and much more.
Cons
I haven't noticed any missing features or tools for this wonderful platform, but I would love to see more updates in the future.

Moodle Review user
it was not so easy to understand to upload information it was complex you had to ask for support from another user who used this platform more to send work sometimes it was easier to send an email with the information, it did not warn you if you had pending information to send or had new information.
Pros
through this platform it was possible to upload information about homework and assignments so that it could reach the teachers.
Cons
it was not very easy to use, being a first time user it is not easy to understand how to enter and upload information, it takes time to understand it and you have to ask other users for support.

Moodle: From confusion to understanding
Moodle is okay, but it's not perfect. It has many good features that teachers like, but it can be tricky to use. For new users, it might feel confusing at first. The rather outdated interface could also get some refresher.
Pros
- Makes teaching and learning online good, efficient, easy
- Easily customizable to fit your needs
- Many schools and universities use it - it's familiar to students
- Open source
Cons
- Learning curve - it is hard to learn at first
- UI isn't really nice and easy to use and should get some updates
