What+are+the+practical+educational+implications+of+Moodle?

←Home Moodle's main screen is essentially a "classroom information portal" with customizable blocks such as calendar, login, and news. The centerpiece of this screen is a list of courses (classes) that have been created and are available, arranged into categories.

An individual "course" is an organized collection of lessons, resources, and activities. A course "author" or “authors” assemble the course material and format. The course can be organized on a time line with specific enrollment dates and fixed deadlines for assignments or it can be organized as a series of topics that can be covered in any order according to the student's chosen pace. For the online course "facilitator" (who may or may not be the course author), there are administrative functions including student enrollment, assignments, grading, and quizzes.
