Comment from those who selected Moodle as one of their Top Tools 

• “it’s a great LMS, plus it’s free” Henrique Rabello
• “I teach my own online courses using this. Very stable and easy to use”. Carol Cooper Taylor
• “Moodle is the CMS in our Institute, but I also use it to organise groups and provide support” Brian Mulligan
• “Who ever thought I’d own my own virtual learning environment? Moodle is much better than Blackboard, which is amazing considering the time and money the latter have had to come up with something better. The software continues to improve, although it’s already got everything I can think of” Clive Shepherd
• “Moodle has to be my learning environment of choice. None of them are perfect, but Moodle is by far the simplest to use and is designed by people who understand pedagogy not just technology. It is open source and customisable, to the extent it can look like a slick company intranet as easily as a VLE for hundreds of thousands of students.” Helen Whitehead
• “Every time I use the environment with learners I experience the quality and the many options of this learning environment. I like the didactical ideas behind the environment and if it matching your own model it will be a winner! Powerful learning experiences are within the reach of every creative learning designer and learner.” Marcel de Leeuwe
• “the most popular, the most customizable, the most community driven VLE in existence” Mary Cooch
