- What is Moodle?
- Moodle is a Course Management System (CMS), often used for remote or distance education, that can be used by educators in regular schools to add an "online" component to their students' learning environments.
Course Management Systems, also known as Learning Management Systems (LMS) and Virtual Learning Environments (VLE), are accessed using a web browser.
Using such a system, students can access class handouts, web sites, videos and presentations, contribute to class forums, keep learning journals, submit assignments, etc. Teachers can use Moodle to grade assignments, keep gradebooks, monitor and contribute to forums, and so on.
Moodle is open source software (see moodle.org).

- About these pages
- The information contained in these pages focuses mainly on the needs of teachers who are new to using and supporting Moodle, providing frameworks and ideas, along with the mechanics of setting up Categories and Courses in a school environment - rather than technical installation details.
For those interested in more technical information, there is a huge online Moodle community, comprising many support sites that discuss the installation and other technical aspects of Moodle.
There are also stacks of online videos about using Moodle, along with a great deal of discussion about the pedagogical aspects of integrating Moodle in the curriculum.
These pages are very much about providing an introduction to Moodle, and the mechanical aspects of getting started using Moodle in your school.
