I don´t think in a scenario to don´t use it > > It has been great to implement it as part of my CoEs to help people to train and have some materials available ----- ### "An e-learning facility to share your expertise" — 4.0/5 > **Mohamed** | *15 May 2025* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: A super easy LMS platform to use for online learning with a couple of user-friendly tools that will help make creating lessons, grading, assigning tasks and setting cohorts a simple journey. > > **Cons**: Though it offers many ways and means to stage and pace lessons, Moodle is still away from Canvas Instructure. Students cannot trace their progress, nor can they bookmark their last task. It still causes many technical bugs for those who installed Moodle on their sites or domains, you might lose everything if you think to upgrade. > > A super easy e-learning platform with all beginners would use to start their online business or career; its user-friendly dashboard does not need to be an expert in creating online lectures, setting students lists or cohorts, grading and even giving feedback. ----- ### "Moodle is in the Past" — 3.0/5 > **Essence** | *19 March 2026* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has been a while since I used Moodle. I do recall its colorful presentation and ease of use. The students were also receptive to the platform > > **Cons**: I feel that other Learning Managmenet Systems like Canvas accomplish exactly what Moodle does, but in a prettier fashion ----- ### "Functional but not incredible" — 3.0/5 > **Monica** | *12 May 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked that Moodle offers a wide variety of pre-set course page designs and makes it easy to have a cohesive design and aesthetic that helps with organization and clarity. > > **Cons**: I did not like how difficult it could be to incorporate multimedia on the course pages. I had issues with embedding instructional videos and it was not the most intuitive or easy to use. > > Overall Moodle is good at offering a relatively easy to use platform for course pages and material. They have pre-set organized course designs to choose from which is great but it can be difficult to embed videos and add any other media besides text to the pages. ----- ### "Moodle is Perfect for Online Schooling" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *18 February 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Everything is labeled exactly as it should be so I would consider this software to have an ease of use, very user friendly, and I like how you can view the grading and assignments in live time as well be able to have student-teacher interaction through the software as well. It's a perfect system to use for online schooling. > > **Cons**: Having only seen it from the user side, I'm not sure if it is actually hard to work with through the administrative side. All I can say so far are good things about Moodle. > > I have personally used Moodle during my classes with Library Juice Academy, so everything is strictly online, but I have to admit it has a been a wonderful and easy experience so far. ----- Page: 1 / 136\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/4321/moodle?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/4321/moodle) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
