University on web : a case study of using moodle for course work

Abstract

Moodle is actually an open source web application for producing internet-based courses and websites. It is a Course Management System (CMS). Moodle is written in PHP. It runs on nearly every available server platform, and can be used by anyone with a Web browser. Moodle uses sound pedagogical principles to help educators create an online community which will be virtual but will give the feelings of real. It is a free and Open Source software package. The software can be customized into user’s use. Moodle is basically implemented in university course, a secondary school class, a professional association or company doing training. The challenge of my project was to learn different features of Moodle – how to use them efficiently and use of them properly. Secondly, how to install Moodle in a machine – to teach people the whole Moodle setup procedure. Lastly, to provide the teachers the overall guidelines of using Moodle without any difficulty. I was able to complete my project successfully satisfying all the requirements that I was supposed to do.
