About Moodle
Moodle
is an Open Source Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). It's easy to use and has a number of
innovative tools that make it an excellent environment for creating
courses that promote collaborative learning and the creation of
learning communities.
What can it do?
Moodle has a wide range of tools to support learning and teaching, including tools to:
- manage resources (documents, lessons, glossary)
- support communication (forums, chat, blog, wiki)
- enable groupwork (wiki, database, forums, glossary)
- support assessment (quizzes, assignments, Turnitin integration, gradebook)
- manage administration (groups, calendar, usage reports, gradebook, questionnaire)
For more ideas see our 'Why use Moodle' page.
Who can use it?
This service is available to all UCL staff and students. All users of Moodle must agree to the UCL Guidelines for e-learning communication tools before using Moodle for the first time. You will be prompted to do so, the first time you log in to Moodle.
