Moodle also allows me to interact with my course mates with ease. > > **Cons**: Nothing, i have not experienced any difficulties with moodle yet. > > Moodle has a user-friendly interface which makes it easy for everyone including people that may not be tech efficient to use. ----- ### "Moodle Bridges the Gap Between Student and Teacher Communication" — 4.0/5 > **Charlie** | *10 May 2026* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Moodle was a great tool when it came to not only checking grades, but stuent-teacher interaction as well. Professors were able to communicate deadlines and whatnot to students, even if they were absent. When I used Moodle, it was always very easy to use, and never had many bugs or issues. > > **Cons**: What I liked least about Moodle was the interface. It was very outdates, but it did everything that it needed to do. The features all worked but it was just an outdated system visually. > > Overall, Moodle allowed me to easily check my grades, turn in assignments, and receive communication from professors in a timely fashion eve if I missed class. The interface was a little outdated but it had all the features you needed and rarely had any bugs. ----- ### "Excellent LMS for the "price"" — 5.0/5 > **Sarah** | *19 December 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that it's open source, which means I can get it for FREE if I have my own hosting solution. And it's not a cheap, minimal product either - it's a quality learning management system that supports a variety of assignment types with easy grading. It allows a customizable amount of teacher-student interaction; set up a course and let it run without touching it again, or have a hands-on teacher communicating daily. Sufficient support documentation is available that I never needed to contact any kind of customer support. It seamlessly supported my course authored on Rise 360. > > **Cons**: It took some time to figure out how to set it up on a free hosting platform as an administrator; I had issues with needing more server access than I had for free. (I did find a workaround that's sufficient for the low-usage environment I'm currently supporting.) > > I have used Moodle as a student, a teacher, and a site administrator - including both completing my own setup start-to-finish and moderating an install set up by someone else. I've found Moodle to be an excellent learning management system. Other LMS platforms do have some extra features that are nice, but they rarely tip the scale on cost-benefit ratio; Moodle is good and free. ----- ### "Moodle Experience" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *09 April 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The chat/messaging feature. As an admin, I am satisfied with this because I can send a broadcast to all my users. > > **Cons**: I use Moodlecloud. The feature I like the least is the process of creating the performance usage report. I discovered when I first extract that information that there are columns that are not relevant - I want main details such as how many times a user logged in and how long they were logged in and the courses they viewed/attempted, the functions they used the most and all those. > > Knowledgable. I learned a lot as a student user once back when I was in college and now as an Administrator. ----- Page: 1 / 137\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/80691/moodle?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/80691/moodle) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
