If you’re exploring ways to deliver online training or create a digital learning environment, chances are you’ve heard of Moodle. Used by educators, companies, and training providers around the globe, Moodle has become one of the most powerful and flexible learning management systems (LMS) out there.
But what exactly is Moodle, and why are so many organizations using it? In this post, we’ll break it down in plain English — what Moodle is, what it does, who it’s for, and how a partner like Vextur can help you get started.
What Is Moodle?
Moodle — short for Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment — is an open-source platform used to build, manage, and deliver online courses. Think of it as the digital backbone for e-learning.
Whether you’re a teacher running an online class or a company training remote employees, Moodle gives you the tools to create interactive, trackable, and user-friendly learning experiences — all from one central place.
And because it’s open-source, you have full freedom to customize it however you like — no expensive licenses or vendor lock-ins.
