Overall Satisfaction with Moodle

Moodle is used across the entire organization. It is available to students for every course and available to faculty and staff for committees and group projects. It enables faculty to communicate with students online, post assignments, share notes and multimedia presentation, record grades, etc. It enables committees to share information in a protected environment.
  • It allows me to put my entire course calendar and syllabus onto a visual space that is accessible for all students. It enables linking to documents and multimedia.
  • It provides a protected system to store grades online.
  • It enables members of a group or course to communicate and share information in a protected environment.
  • It occasionally glitches when editing to add documents.
  • The grade book cannot be seen on one screen, you need to use two arrow buttons to scroll over and it is easy to lose track of the student's name/your place in that process.
  • Not everyone grasps the idea of Moodle and how to access it.
  • It streamlines processes for faculty and students.
  • It provides a shared platform for the organization and students.
  • It provides a visual experience.
  • Information can be stored on this system, including documents and grades.
Blackboard and Moodle seem very similar to me. I haven't used Blackboard in a number of years. I understand that Moodle is less expensive than Blackboard, but both fit my needs.
Moodle is well suited for creating a course calendar and visual experience with information links. Cost and ease of use are two questions I would ask during the selection process. I'd also ask about use on multiple platforms (PC, apple, tablet, phone, etc.)
