Moodle is an Open Source e-learning platform. It has a relatively large - and rapidly growing - userbase.


Moodle is a course management system (CMS) - a software package designed to help educators create quality online courses. Such e-learning systems are sometimes also called Learning Management Systems (LMS) or Virtual Learning Environments (VLE).

Moodle is Open Source software, which means you are free to download it, use it, modify it and even distribute it (under the terms of the GPL License from GNU). Moodle runs without modification on Unix, Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, Netware and any other systems that support PHP, including most webhost providers. Data is stored in a single database: MySQL (other popular databases are also supported).
