"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**. To work, it needs to be installed on a web server somewhere, either on one of your own computers or one at a web hosting company."

 * Moodle has features that allow it to scale to very large deployments and hundreds of thousands of students, yet it can also be used for a primary school or an education hobbyist.
 * Many institutions use it as their platform to **conduct fully online courses**, while some use it simply to augment face-to-face courses (known as blended learning).
 * Many of our users love to use the activity modules (such as **forums, databases and wikis)** to build richly collaborative communities of learning around their subject matter (in the social constructionist tradition), while others prefer to use Moodle as a way to deliver content to students (such as standard SCORM packages) and assess learning using **assignments or quizzes**
