In many cases, Moodle has made it easier to approach various issues within the firm, such as providing a single umbrella database for storing essential information, tracking performance improvement across the employees, and enhancing the interaction across the organizational departments. By using this software, we are able to enhance the training of our employees and also enhance efficiency of the firm.

Pros

The best aspect of Moodle is that it has a simple and fairly more convenient to use approach for the building of courses and communication with learners. It also has a number of potential features that enable a change in or personalization of courses to fit the company.

Cons

But there are times that I find myself transacting on the platform slow sometimes which can be quite annoying. Anyway, I would prefer if you could spend some effort in order to increase loading time and general response of the system.

We used the tool since first versions, and i can say it's good enough to sustain training need for an amount like 5-10 courses in parallel with an affordable price.

Pros

Affordable. Fast enough. Smooth access to courses and content.

Cons

Lack of graphical interface. Very hard to backend administration and also very often updates that consume a lot of time (database technology updates too often).

Alternatives Considered

Google Classroom and Google Meet

Reasons for Switching to Moodle

Because looks, works and sounds more academic than Classroom and it is an important aspect when working with adults.

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

One of the best part of using moodle is that it can be easily accessed from any devices mostly from Android and iOS and by accessing a course just on the tip of your hand makes the learning process more flexible and efficient you can get to know about whatever course you want and whenever you want. We can do the classes and exchange our notes whenever I wants.

Pros

Moodle is interesting platform which helps educators and students to get connected with each other and learn from each other It mainly helps teachers to provide notes, lectures, videos related to the skilled and courses which they are providing and it also gives chances to their users to interact with each other and chat with them and discuss about the topic which is going on by the educator for better understanding.

Cons

Although I had a great using this platform but at the same time I would like to mention that moodle has Limited courses and while learning a particular course sometimes I have felt that the education and the information available in the platform is not enough so that anybody can rely on it completely for long learning experience.
