Moodle is a free and open source learning management system that has been successfully implemented in tens of thousands of organisations of various sizes and types all around the world. Moodle can be used for various learning scenarios in the education, private and public, sectors.
Moodle offers functionality to complement most learning and professional development programmes and courses in Moodle can be conducted completely online or augment face-to-face learning. Moodle can also be customised to meet your specific requirements, themed to reflect the branding of your organisation and integrated with your existing IT systems.
