Using Moodle as a Collaborative Device

Moodle is a free software/open source e-learning platform (also known as a Course Management System (CMS) or Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). It has a significant user base with 18,204 registered sites with 7,270,260 users in 712,531 courses (as of November 15, 2006).

Moodle is designed to help educators create online courses with opportunities for rich interaction. Its open source license and modular design means that many people can develop additional functionality, and development is undertaken by a globally diffuse network of commercial and non-commercial users, spearheaded by the Moodle company based in Perth, Western Australia.

This video is an introduction to Moodle and an interview with it’s creator Martin Dougiamas.
