Chapter 1: Introduction

Welcome to Moodle Teaching Techniques! Moodle offers teachers and course designers a toolbox full of online teaching tools. This book shows you how to use those tools to create effective learning solutions. These learning solutions are based on proven, accepted instructional principles, and traditional classroom activities.

Moodle is a Course Management System (CMS) for producing web-based courses. It is a Free Open Source Software (FOSS), which means that you are free to use, modify, and redistribute it as long as you:

  • Provide the source to others
  • Do not modify or remove the original license and copyrights
  • Apply this same license to any derivative work

Under these conditions, thousands of developers have contributed features and functionality to Moodle. The result is the world's most popular, free, and feature-packed online learning system.
