 Moodle is an educational platform that can be used by everyone. As it is built globally for learning, you have the chance to choose from more than 120 (and counting) languages. Moodle has more than 90 million users so far and so it is the world's most widely used learning platform. You can download it for free and you use it so too. As it is said to be easy to use, you can experience it by yourself from here or you can continue to read...

 According to the article "What is Moodle" by Brenda Barron, if you are using Moodle while building an educational site, you would easily find answers to questions like; How will classes be structured? How will you accept students and process their work? How will you interact with your students? 
 This article is a tutorial to use Moodle and that's why I chose this one to share. According to the article, Moodle is designed to make creating long-distance education and is free tı use and customize for any purpose like job training or online courses.
 The article also includes Learning Management Systems (LMS) which is a type of software designed to help people create educational programs online. LMS is needed because with it you won't need coding to create a website for your class and it includes many useful features like commenting and feedback systems or forums etc.
