Using Moodle

Developed by an extremely active open source community, Moodle is a sophisticated web-based course management system that's ideal for teaching remote online classes or as a way to supplement face-to-face learning. A single Moodle site can support thousands of fully searchable courses in 43 different languages, and strong security features require students, teachers, and administrators to create their own authenticated user accounts. Teachers who use Moodle have full control over all settings for a course, including a flexible array of activities, such as assignments, forums, journals, quizzes, surveys, chat rooms, and workshops. Using Moodle gives them a comprehensive hands-on guide that explains how the system works, with plenty of examples and best practices for its many features and plug-in modules. Authored by the Moodle community, this authoritative book also exposes little known but powerful hacks for more technically savvy users. For anyone who is using-or thinking of using-this CMS, Using Moodle is required reading.
