Summary

We learned a lot in this chapter about open source software, the advantages of Moodle, and how to install and begin to use it.

Specifically, we covered:

  • Moodle, as open source software, is free to download, install on any machine, and use with as many people as you want.
  • Moodle Partners provide professional support for Moodle, so if you want someone to train you, provide Moodle hosting, or customize it to meet your needs, there are a number of companies out there to help.
  • It is easy to set up a course and add static resources to Moodle to share with others.
  • Adding basic activities in a course, like Forums, is easy to do with a simple web interface. There is also a lot of hidden power to customize the application to meet your needs.

We also discussed a framework for planning your Moodle solution. The ADIME framework provides a simple heuristic for thinking about how to implement a Moodle solution in your organization.

Now that we've learned about the basics of Moodle, we're ready to begin using Moodle to support one of the most important business functions, hiring the right people—which is the topic of the next chapter.
