Moodle

• What is Moodle?
• Moodle, started by Martin Dougiamas, is a course
  management system (CMS) - a free, Open Source
  software package producing internet-based courses
  and web sites designed using sound pedagogical
  principles, to help educators create effective
  online learning communities. It can scale from a
  single-teacher site to a University with 200,000
  students. It's an ongoing project designed to
  support a social constructionist framework of
  education
• What does Moodle mean?
• Moodle is an acronym for Modular Object-Oriented
  Dynamic Learning Environment, which is mostly
  useful to programmers and education theorists.
  It's also a verb that describes the process of
  lazily meandering through something, doing things
  as it occurs to you to do them, an enjoyable
  tinkering that often leads to insight and
  creativity. As such it applies both to the way
  Moodle was developed, and to the way a student or
  teacher might approach studying or teaching an
  online course. Anyone who uses Moodle is a
  Moodler.
