Overall Satisfaction with Moodle

I use Moodle as a Graduate teaching assistant to share materials with students, as well as other activities, submission links for assignments, reading lists, a wide range of medias. Every specific course is organised on a Moodle page in our university, and this is a great tool to organise a Master degree.

Pros

  • Dealing with Submissions
  • Allowing for a wide range of media uploads
  • Allow for a good organisation of different labels and sections

Cons

  • Some activities like the workshop are difficult to grasp
  • Group assignments and limitations are not always working well
  • Some settings are quite mysterious and not very useful
  • During Covid it ended up being essential
  • Allows to track work from home efficiently
  • allows students to expand some of their interest beyond class
These are not very similar tools, Moodle allows a lot more options and you can even integrate a Miro board into Moodle. I would say Moodle is a lot more complete, allows for the wide range activities that need to be undertaken during a master course, from readings, to lectures, marking and activities.

Do you think Moodle delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Moodle's feature set?

Yes

Did Moodle live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Moodle go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Moodle again?

Yes

Moodle is great when it comes to organising preparation work before every unit for a particular class. You can set up introductory readings, pre-recorded lectures, some interactive activites, although some are more complicated to grasp that others, forums for example are very easy to set up, but if you want something more complicated like a workshop tool you can struggle.
