Moodle is an Open Source Course Management System (CMS), also known as a Learning Management System (LMS) or a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). It has become very popular among educators around the world as a tool for creating online dynamic web sites for their students.

What is Moodle?

The focus of our Moodle project is to give our tutors the best tools to manage and promote learning, this will be achieved through a number of ways that we will use this site:

Moodle has features that allow it will allow us to scale deployments with the large number of students and learners that we have.

Edutainment recognises the benefits of using platform independent resources such as conducting online courses, as well as use this resource to augment face-to-face courses (known as blended learning).
Many of our learners like to use the many activity modules (such as Forums, Wikis, Databases and so on) to build richly collaborative communities of learning around their subject matter, while others prefer to use our resources as a way to receive content to (such as interactive SCORM packages) and assess learning using assignments or quizzes.

Moodle is a software package for producing internet-based courses and web sites. It's an ongoing development project designed to support a social constructionist framework of education.

The word Moodle was originally an acronym for Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment, which is mostly useful to programmers and education theorists. It's also a verb that describes the process of lazily meandering through something, doing things as it occurs to you to do them, an enjoyable tinkering that often leads to insight and creativity. As such it applies both to the way Moodle was developed, and to the way a student or teacher might approach studying or teaching an online course. Anyone who uses Moodle is a Moodler.
