Moodle is a hero!
Comments: We have used this product for many years and our institution has grown with it! We are glad we went with this learning management system oppose to others because of its efficiency and success it has brought to us.
Pros:
This product enhances the learning environment for both our students and teachers. With its ability to integrate other platforms such as panopto and element, students are able to collaborate and communicate efficiently in their courses.
Cons:
On the faculty side of moodle, it has been a challenge to migrate courses seamlessly from other platforms. We have found workarounds but have been tedious. With other products having a more modern look, moodle may need a user interface revamp to attract more customers and enhance the classroom experience.

Moodle gets an A+
Comments: I teach classes as part of my small business. With Moodle, I can reach more customers by being able to teach those classes online. It is easy to set up my courses no matter if they are live on-line or static classes. The reporting lets me know who has attended the classes and captures their data so that I can send them updates on new classes they might be interested in.
Pros:
I love the fact that Moodle is free. I teach classes with Moodle and since I am a small business, Moodle allows me to pass that savings onto my customers allowing me to be more competitive with the larger companies.
Cons:
I wish it had more training on the integrated AI function. I think if I understood it better, I would use that function more.

Pros:
It has many great features such as; being mobile-friendly, highly customizable and flexible, strong security and privacy, and community support that shares resources, troubleshooting guides, and much more.

Useful but complex tool to run
Comments: I used it for my own association. I started with the School version (SaaS). And then, I installed my own Moodle on a server. I spent a lot of time configuring and maintaining the platform. I Also used it for project in NGOs in Belgium and France. And I also used it as an integrated part of a mobile app for Ukrainian Refugees.
Pros:
The flexibility, the reliability, the fact that it is an open source software that you can configure according to your need, the profusion of measurement and assessment tools both integrated and external plugins and themes.
Cons:
You need some good knowledge in programming and server installation to install, configure and maintain your platform up to date. I see that most educational institutions use outdated versions with security risks. Even though the software is free, running it can cost money since it demands serious skills to manage.

Great system for studies and learning in higher education
Comments: Moodle was the best experience I gained for my studies, it has an easy-to-access interface, all the information is available and the monitoring of studies is fantastic.
Pros:
The study dynamics, the way of presenting the subjects, what I like most is that it follows the evolution of the studies, continuing the studies exactly where it left off. Another important thing is being able to review old materials, making it easier to remember special points.
Cons:
What I like least about the system is the support part. It is not inefficient, but sometimes the delay in service delays the sequence of studies. I understand that the delay is for better support and assistance, and due to the number of requests made by users, but it is also inconvenient to continue learning.
Moodle Platform for Students
Comments: It offers a wide range of tools and functionalities for educators, students, and administrators. Some of the most liked features of Moodle like customization, flexibility, accessibility and scalability makes Moodle a popular and effective platform for online learning and teaching!
Pros:
It is more flexible and scalable to use. It also provides best community support and grading. More customizable makes perfect. It is more easily accessible too.
Cons:
Sometimes its performance will get slow.

My Experience with moodle
Comments: Moodle is a software I came across when I really needed something with that functionality. It was during the pandemic times so it really spared me a lot of delay in my life by allowing me to continue my studies online and complete my degree eventually, regardless of the pandemic restrictions. It is easy to understand, it is convenient and it works well.
Pros:
What I liked most was how convenient it was. Being apple to access it using my phone at anytime really made things quick and easy without the hassle of having to have my laptop with me at all times
Cons:
What I liked least was the fact that it was not always easy to navigate the app. Sometimes I did struggle a bit finding certain things I was looking for in the app
