Moodle

Pros

I have used Moodle for an organization to implement an e-learning platform. I have searched for may LMS and finally, I selected Moodle because it’s open source and very customizable for our requirements. While I am using the Moodle I can list down some pros according to my experience

- Moodle has Multilingual capability that allows users to use multi-language it was a great feature for me.
- Manage user roles and permission, You can define roles to users and manage user access
- Bulk course creation and easy to backup
- Customizable or create our own themes
- Very useful calendar to track course deadlines, meetings and many more
- Admin user can Install and disable 3rd party plugins

Cons

Though Moodle offers many features there are some things that I don’t like much. I can list a few cons of Moodle

- The learning curve is a bit higher for administration and building Moodle courses for First-time users
- If you need to customize some functionalities requires a Moodle programmer
- The look and feel a bit outdated even if you use a theme it feels like bit older
- I faced some upgrading issues it’s not that easy for me

Reasons for Switching to Moodle

Pros

What I liked most about Moodle was the flexibility and customization it offered. I could create courses and activities that suited my needs and preferences, and also manage them easily. Moodle also had a lot of features that were impactful for me, such as the quiz module, the gradebook, the forums, and the analytics. The product was easy to use and intuitive, and I did not have any major issues with integration with my existing business processes. Moodle helped me deliver quality online learning to my students and colleagues.

Cons

What I liked least about Moodle was the lack of customization options for the courses and the user interface. I felt that some features were missing or could be improved, such as the ability to create quizzes with different question types, to embed multimedia content in the lessons, and to track the progress and performance of the learners. I also found some aspects of the product difficult to use, such as the navigation menu, the gradebook, and the feedback system. Integration with my existing business processes was not too difficult, but it required some manual work and adjustments to make it compatible with Moodle.

Pros

I like having all University news, updates, courses and marks in one place. It makes easier to keep everything organised

Cons

The courses are not quickly accessible, I usually have to scroll to the end of the web page to find them. I think the website interface is not very user friendly. Lists of materials, courses, modules, and marks a bit confusing in the way they are arranged. The website in general is a bit slow and I have to sometimes refresh it multiple times

Pros

Easy to use, completely free, with many additional, optional features, with an integration to Hotpotatoes

Cons

Not such a thing. I use moodle (in my instituion it is personalized and well managed), it is perfect for my needs

Pros

The software is very accomodating, easy to use, and has many availabilities in finding a university. For instance, I searched my school there named Xavier University and I found it real quick.

Cons

It may be laggy sometimes and it really needs update to become more proficient to the users. Yet, I'll still recommend this one because I've been using it for more than 2 years.
