From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It has a significant user base with 45,721 registered and verified sites, containing 32 million users in 3 million courses (as of January, 2010).^[3]

Moodle is designed to help educators create online courses with a focus on interaction and collaborative construction of content.

Moodle is primarily developed by Moodle Pty Ltd (based in Perth, Western Australia), supported by a large global community of users and developers. Moodle’s open source license and modular design allow any developer to create additional modules and features.
