Moodle : Synopsis For Choice
February 5, 2009 by alexanderhayes · 2 Comments
I was asked today why EDUPOV is “preferencing” the use of Moodle over that of other proprietary LMS solutions. Rather than enter the what/if debate I’m purposing my choice as;
“…..Moodle provides users with a robust support forum, a graphically and visually considerate user interface, a simplicity of navigation and a personable profile driven working environment.
Moodle provides organizations / business with a strong statistical data driven reporting schedule, a secure and adaptable developers environment, a hierarchical and easily managed administration interface and a secure backup and scheduling core for hosts. Most importantly, Moodle provides educators and trainers with a opportunity to design and implement an instructional, interactive and asset rich learning environment scaffolding users inherent and intuitive knowledge of ICT’s whilst complementing existing web 2.0 technologies in a modular constructivist mode of learning development….”
Why would I choose anything else ?
I’m very happy with a growing robust community of developers at core and avid and extensible ranges to where it ( the core platform ) can be applied.
Whats your thoughts ?

As a lecturer at Pilbara TAFE i am preparing to embark on a project using live video streaming from the workplace to wherever i may be.
In the automotive field where i work, the most commonly used resource for study and reporting based activities is CDXGLOBAL
CDX has there course ware available through a MOODLE platform, the college i work for has adopted MOODLE as the college wide LMS

For my thoughts it is a no brainer
