12. MOODLE: UTILITIES AND THOUGHTS

 

This is one of the last posts, we will be talking about Moodle, about what has meant for us and if we find it useful.

But first, let's dig into what is exactly moodle. Moodle was created by Martin Dougiamas in 2002 and was designed to provide educators and learners with an open free platform to create and deliver personalized learning environments. Today Moodle is one of the basic systems of online learning in many educative institutions across the globe. Something that people usually don't know is that the word Moodle stands for Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment. 

But now let's talk a bit about our thoughts. First of all, Moodle has been our theoretical and practical support. Trough it we learned the course contents and practised certain skills. But sometimes was kind of repetitive and boring (a lot of videos, extremely large exercises with modal verbs, and complicated videos with hidden information that we had to repeat several times.
