Moodle

What is a Moodle?
Moodle is an open source Learning Management System used on tens of thousands of sites all over the world. See the official moodle site for a list.

Moodle offers a vast range of features. You can set up an entire virtual school, or use it to enhance your regular face to face classes. The official Moodle site gives a good overview of the product, and Moodle Buzz gives some nice examples of Moodle in use.

Articles
In January 2008 I wrote an article for ETP which explains in some detail how language teachers can use Moodle.
An article appearing in the IH Journal May 2008 looks at how CELTA teacher trainers can use moodle.


Try moodle out yourself!
If you would like to try out moodle as a user or administrator, go to the demo site moodleflair.com. Examples of moodle sites I've set up include teachereducation.org.uk, nileontheweb.co.uk , wordflair.com and focustrial1.com

I'm happy to help you set up your own moodle sites or courses. See Moodle services for more details.
