MOODLE


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. You can find out more about Moodle, how to get it and use it, on the Moodle community site moodle.org.

Many TAFE courses use the Moodle system as a supplementary course delivery platform. Teachers use Moodle to store course information, such as assessment dates and instructions, as well as Student Assessment Guides*. Teachers may also upload resources for students on the  Moodle, such as readings, links, videos and photos. Students are often required to upload their assignments to the course Moodle.
