Overview

Organisations that run courses, training or schooling often end up juggling separate tools for content, assessment and communication. Moodle addresses this by offering a single, integrated learning platform where educators, administrators and learners can create personalised learning environments without stitching systems together. Moodle is a widely adopted open-source learning management system used by universities, schools, companies and individuals around the world. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License version 3, so it is free to download, run on your own web server and adapt. Documentation, a demo site and a community hub at moodle.org support both users and developers. You can install Moodle yourself, work with one of the Moodle Partners, or use hosting through MoodleCloud or the partner network.
