Moodle.org - OpenSource Learning Management System

LMS, as in Learning Management Systems, have been gaining momentum for some time, and they have truly made some exceptional advances since the old times; Dokeos, for instance, has become wide-spread use for any teacher who has some basic internet savvy, and Moodle has also been doing quite comfortably too. These platforms allow users to create and manage courses online by putting together a series of features, like calendar, bibliography, testing features, enrollment protocols and lots of other stuff depending on what the course is about. The whole idea of using LMS is to ease to bureaucracy involved in teaching, and to maximize what students can do in class by providing them with easy-to-access resources, like reading material, sample testing, and other learning features, like being able to build one’s own glossaries, link libraries or portfolios online. Since all of these aspects of course management can be audited by teachers at any time, it is also a good way to gain global knowledge of how the class is doing, and also to correct errors in the way. Creating a course if very easy, and is mostly like shopping from a supermarket: teachers log in and choose which features their online course will have, and create a mashup of resources, so that the virtual classroom only displays that and not an endless list of links which will lead students to nowhere. These platforms are being adopted all over the world by teachers of the most diverse fields and levels, including tech and software development departments, because since the platform works on PHP, anyone who is handy with it can produce their own modules and functionalities to plug in to Moodle.
