Moodle is generally a delight to useOur experience with Moodle has been very satisfying. The user interface is very nice, access to features transparent and the ability to directly access materials with a simple copy/paste of a URL is great. A typical support question is of the form "I seem to be able to accomplish my goal in the following several ways, which do you recommend?". Delightful. | ||||||||

Moodle has very extensive and useful on-line helpThe on-line help in Moodle is superb. Pretty much anywhere you may have a question, you will find a little blue dot with a question mark. Click on it and you will be treated to on-line help which is genuinely useful. It is not unusual for the help to not only answer your question, but also divine your intent and propose or even recommend an alternative approach to what you may be trying to accomplish. |

Why Moodle?Elaborating further on the quick summary above, here are some thoughts about Moodle in contemplating its use in your course:Moodle has a robust feature setMoodle provides the usual features you are likely to want in a Course Management System (CMS). Capabilities beyond simple web pages and file downloads which others in the Math Department have made particular use of include:

Any URL within Moodle can be linked to directly from an external website.
Moodle is a great way to selectively manage access to content you choose not to make available to the open web.
Your course can easily use a mixed strategy of static
web pages for course materials, open to the world, and Moodle for
gradebook, workshop details, copyrighted publications and solutions. In particular, Moodle lends itself to the
mixed solution much better than some other content management systems since moodle actively
supports linking to content within it. If someone has
authorization to see it, the link will go directly to the linked content.
A common alternative authentication method is to place the authentication in the URL which makes such deep linking impossible.
