Moodle is used for blended learning, distance education, flipped classroom and other e-learning projects in schools, universities, workplaces and other sectors.
Moodle (an acronym for modular object-oriented dynamic learning environment) allows for extending and tailoring learning environments using community-sourced plugins.
Moodle was originally developed by Martin Dougiamas to help educators create online courses with a focus on interaction and collaborative construction of content, and it is in continual evolution.
