    Moodle is an open-source Learning Management System (LMS) that provides educators with the tools and features to create and manage online courses. It allows educators to organize course materials, create quizzes and assignments, host discussion forums, and track student progress. Moodle is highly flexible and can be customized to meet the specific needs of different institutions and learning environments.

    Moodle supports both synchronous and asynchronous learning environments, enabling educators to host live webinars, video conferences, and chat sessions, as well as providing a variety of tools that support self-paced learning, including videos, interactive quizzes, and discussion forums. The platform also integrates with other tools and systems, such as Google Apps and plagiarism detection software, to provide a seamless learning experience.

    Moodle is widely used in educational institutions, including universities, K-12 schools, and corporate training programs. It is well-suited to online and blended learning environments and distance education programs. Additionally, Moodle's accessibility features make it a popular choice for learners with disabilities, ensuring that courses are inclusive and accessible to all learners.

    The Moodle community is an active group of users, developers, and educators who contribute to the platform's development and improvement. The community provides support, resources, and documentation for users, as well as a forum for sharing ideas and best practices. Moodle releases regular updates and improvements, ensuring that the platform remains up-to-date with the latest technologies and best practices.

      Improving teacher practice in different environments

      An important distinction to make is that…the rapid shift to remote teaching in response to COVID is NOT online teaching…it’s Emergency Remote Teaching.

      Teaching has been forced online temporarily but the intention is to return to F2F teaching, ASAP. So, rather than redesigning the teaching strategies, lessons and assessments for an ongoing digital delivery, teachers and schools are doing the best they can – buying time until returning to the classroom when things can “resume to normal.”

      But is “normal” good enough for the modern technological landscape?

      Educational researcher John Hattie urges us to learn from the experiences of ERT because an experiment such as this would never fly!
