What is Moodle?
Answer
Moodle is a web application that allows faculty to post course materials (such as documents, discussion boards, assignments, video and audio) online making them available to their students around the clock. In addition, instructors can make use of discussion boards, quizzes, online activities, and other tools available in the system to expand the the walls of a traditional classroom. Moodle can also help you to maintain a paperless classroom or meeting.
Moodle provides a flexible environment for all types of learning communities, whether a "regular" course, departmental project or University-wide task force.
FYI for geeks: The acronym "Moodle" stands for Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment.
