Overall Satisfaction with Moodle

Moodle is used by my organisation for several projects. It is used to deliver international courses and knowledge tests for assessment.
  • Course delivery - Moodle is very flexible. We have a Moodle Developer so we can create plugins, reporting features, basically anything we want.
  • LTI compatibility - because Moodle is used globally it can communicate with other systems, Student Management Systems, CPR, etc.
  • There are a lot of hidden features that require quite a bit of training in the use of the platform. Sometimes you really have to search to find things it can do.
  • To be able to brand and have Moodle look and function the way we need it to for different projects requires a developer to make those changes.
  • As Moodle is free source the costs are very low.
  • If you have a talented LMS user and a developer you can make it do almost anything.
I have used other testing only platforms that have nowhere near as many functions and flexibility as Moodle.
Because Moodle is used by so many people and organisations globally there are great forums that can answer almost any question you might have about its functions. My organisation has used Moodle suppliers in the past but the support for any enquiry is very expensive. If you are a good self learner you can get around any support needs with free online sources.

Do you think Moodle delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Moodle's feature set?

Yes

Did Moodle live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Moodle go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Moodle again?

Yes

I love how beautiful you can make Moodle look with the right theme, branding and colors. With a little know-how you can be very creative with it.
Although the quiz function is very adaptable, if you are doing high stakes testing or require an authoring, review and validation tool for test content Moodle is not adequate.
