I have installed, or had the automated system with GoDaddy install, a program called Moodle.
It appears to be open source software. I had it installed by the GoDaddy system, as it is a part of the software package available with my GoDaddy hosting, so it was an easy installation process.
Moodle is a CMS (content management system) that appears to be geared specifically towards online courses. There is a lot to it. It looks to have many components to it to make it very extensive and robust.
Unfortunately, because it is geared towards online courses and that is what I am evaluating it for, I am a little lost. I am not an instructor and so lack in the practice of lesson plans and the like. Because of that I will be looking over the program from an administrative perspective and working with an instructor to test the ease of use aspects of it. I will also be looking at the customization options available with Moodle.
Obviously, with the ‘to do’ list above I have not completed my evaluation of the software. I’ve barely begun it. I will be posting more about it when I have better information to provide.
Cheers.
