moodle

          Moodle is an open-sourced virtual learning environment. It is more than simply an online space for sharing files. It can be used to support more collaborative, social styles of learning and teaching. Moodle is provided freely as Open Source software (under the GNU General Public License). Basically this means Moodle is copyrighted, but that you have additional freedoms. You are allowed to copy, use and modify Moodle provided that you agree to: provide the source to others; not modify or remove the original license and copyrights, and apply this same license to any derivative work. It provides all the sophisticated high level functionality of an educational CMS and more – and there are no license fees. It is designed to create opportunities for rich interaction between teachers and learners. It has become very popular among educators around the world as a tool for creating online dynamic web sites for their students. You can access Moodle through any web browser (such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Apple Safari) on any internet-connected computer or device such as an iPad. Moodle offers a range of connected online tools that individuals, and groups, can use for a variety of purposes. Through Moodle, educators can: Upload video, audio and links relevant to a lesson, Engage students in a discussion forum, Guide a real-time discussion or “chat”, Create, conduct and grade quizzes, Prompt students with survey questions, Post classroom blogs, Create and maintain a classroom glossary related to a lesson, Assign, collect, review and grade assignments, and Work collaboratively on a classroom wiki or group-edited document.


This program doesn't cost anything. Its free and also it can be access through any web browser or can be download.This program is easy to understand and also their is demonstration sites which enable us to explore Moodle as a teacher, student or even an administrator. And we don't even need to worry about making a mess, as both sites are reset to a clean state every hour. Teachers love this website and one of my teachers actually used it so she could share handouts with us online.
