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. ----- ### "Good for Managing Courses and Assignments" — 4.0/5 > **Ishita** | *22 May 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is very useful for teachers and educators to upload assignments, lectures, notes and conduct exams or tests for a group of students. It is very easy to use and has many features for smooth conduction of tests and upload of grades. It is free and open source to use. > > **Cons**: One thing I liked least about Moodle was that the interface can sometimes feel outdated and less intuitive compared to newer learning platforms. There were occasional bugs such as pages loading slowly, quizzes freezing temporarily, or assignment uploads failing on unstable connections. Notifications and navigation could also be improved because important updates are sometimes easy to miss. Customer support largely depends on the institution using Moodle, so resolving technical issues can occasionally take time. > > It is very customizable and works for both small colleges and large universities. It is a platform similar to google classroom or a blackboard where all the teaching activities can be conducted seamlessly. ----- ### "Moodle review" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *04 May 2026* | Warehousing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked the simple system. Its very customisable for the professors/ tutors, and the assignment submission and viewing grade is simple too. > > **Cons**: The assignment deadlines notifications are so delayed, most of the time the notification doesnt even come through the app bit through emails. And the Emails arrive after the deadline passes which causes a big issue of missing the deadline. > > Its been good overall, the app is simple and the colour/organization is very user friendly. I like the calendar feature where you can see all the deadlines all at once. ----- ### "CS student moodle evaluation" — 3.0/5 > **Alexandre** | *23 January 2026* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: As a computer science student, I really value the learning platform because it serves as an all-in-one hub where I can access all my course materials, submit some of my assigments. It has a organized interface, supporting multiple file formats and activities. > > **Cons**: The platform feels quite outdated, often requires too many clicks to locate specific documents. The mobile experience is also somewhat limited compared to the desktop version, with inconsistent notifications. Also, when I try to add a file and submit it, a lot of time it takes to many clicks to confirm it , I have already missed some deadlines because I forgot 1 of 5 confirms. > > Moodle is a solid tool that gets the job done for university life. It provides all the necessary features for a Computer Science student, but it desperately needs a modern visual update, and also , the files submit system , should be updated. ----- 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
