Moodle



 is a free and open-licensed learning management system (LMS) which is copyrighted and trademarked by lead developer Martin Dougiamas, and released under a GFDL license. More about Moodle.

Learning project
This learning project allows participants to explore how to use Moodle. For hands-on learning you can use http://demo.moodle.org for access to a demonstration install of the latest Moodle software which gives you access to admin, teacher, and student roles.

This learning project could also explore ways to increase constructive interactions between the Wikimedia community and the Moodle community.

Access levels
The Moodle software allows for several access levels:



Administration block
Course administrators can control many aspects of their site via the Administration block. A full teacher has full control over all settings for a course, including restricting other teachers Choice of course formats such as by week, by topic or a discussion-focussed social format Flexible array of course activities - Forums, Journals, Quizzes, Resources, Choices, Surveys, Assignments, Chats, Workshops Recent changes to the course since the last login can be displayed on the course home page - helps give sense of community Most text entry areas (resources, forum postings, journal entries etc) can be edited using an embedded WYSIWYG HTML editor

Sandbox server
If you are new to Moodle or if you want to learn how to create and manage a course using Moodle, you are invited to use the http://sandbox.wikiversity.wmflabs.org/moodle/ which runs on the WMFLabs server.

New to Wikiversity?
Wikiversity is powered by MediaWiki software. Wikiversity can be thought of as an unconventional learning management system. In contrast to Moodle courses, learning resources at Wikiversity are by default open to collaborative development by all Wikiversity participants. If you have previous experience with Moodle but would like to learn about Wikiversity, see Introduction to Wikiversity.
