Moodle Virtual Learning Environment
Moodle is an open-source virtual learning environment. Moodle is PHP-based and uses a database (MySQL Oracle, PostgreSQL etc.) to store data including enrolment, courses and other related data. While other VLEs were developed as subject-specific content management systems Moodle is unique in that it was developed from the start to conform to pedagogical (art of teaching) theories.

Moodle offers many different forms of student assessment. Some involve the student uploading a document which is later checked by the teacher and a grade published via Moodle. There are also many different forms of auto-grading. Teachers can set quizzes which require the student to enter text, select from options and group answers. These can all be checked by the system automatically and thus provides almost instantaneous feedback to the student.
The Moodle system can accommodate many types of additional software into the system. This includes forums, wikis and additional question formats. This gives the teacher the ability to tailor the software 100% towards the students to which content is being taught. This may mean adding specialised question formats for a specific subject.
