What is Moodle?

Moodle is an online Learning Management System (LMS) enabling educators to create dynamic courses that extend learning, anytime, anywhere.

The heart of Moodle is courses that contain activities and resources.

Thus, each activity can build on the outcomes of previous ones.

To use Moodle, you will need:

A computer or smart device (tablet, phone, etc.) with an Internet connection.

An up-to-date browser. Your username and password.
