Moodle helps us track students’ submissions, participation in activities, which is very helpful. The benefit of Moodle is the easy of use, accessibility and multilingual support, gamification and engagement.
Pros
Moodle's resource management and collaborative tools are most impactful. Moodle is user friendly and a brief tutorial on the platform helps users become well acquainted in little time. Moodle carefully considers how educators and administrators make the best use of Moodle features making the integration process easy.
Cons
The mobile feature is not as seamless and the desktop app. Regular Maintenance and updates poses a challenge on users. Integrating into the business was easy, however with unannounced downtime particularly during submissions poses a major challenge for students and administrators.
