What's Moodle - The Teaching Tool

3 years ago, I've discovered the joys and payback of blogs and over time, I have divided out to dissimilar resources offered to a freelancer e.g. myself.

When I evolved into an on-line tutor, a friend and I tried this on-line application called Moodle. Moodle is an acronym for Modular OOP Dynamic Knowledge System. For people such as me who is involved into the latest technologies that the web-based brings, I am not truly large on technical jargons specially if most of the time, I just do things on a DIY (Do - It - Yourself) basis.

Moodle was the idea of Martin Dougiamas when the term "Distance Learning" or "Distance Education" was still an obscurity developed centuries ago. He developed this online program in order to help teachers and students literally minimize and bridge the gap between education even though they were kilometers separately. In today's situation, almost everybody with a PC or a PDA or a Personal Digital Assistant has access to the internet and social media marketing has become a major tool in everyone's lives and the access is unrestrained and homeworks might be submitted online or degrees from the top overseas schools could be earned from the internet without the inconvenience of leaving your country without the inconvenience and cost of leaving your own nation.

Moodle is determined by a extremely dynamic virtual learning system that reaches out from 10 to thousands of students from a school, your own home crossing all continents. The Moodle web hosting is considered to be fast, professional and simple to install. Many web hosting sites have the inclusion but not limited to colleges, private companies and corporations have adapted and built-in this in their system as a shape of blended learning in which students act together with another, take exams, have a question and answer but not limited to a community for giving out view and ideas as if they were beside each other and communicating face to face real time. In addition to that, it motivates the student to learn on his own as responsibilities are assigned in isolation oftentimes which ought to be achieved at a given time-frame.

Though it may not replace a classroom environment, what Moodle does is bring out the vision of both the teachers and the students with the expansion of different modules and techniques in the application to remain the learning pace going and knowledge is being updated as the movement in the Internet alone is fast and aggressive.

Some nay sayers would say that the profit are nil and still nothing compares to a material human interaction. What they do not comprehend is that the same interaction is feasible through this kind of service as teachers and students act together on a daily basis plus making it cost efficient by way of transportation and food and time. People could reach doing extra things with their time since this is also a main thought so far as the applications designed are concerned. The central factor is to bring quality tutoring regarding distance and economic fact.
