MOODLE
In the last decade, the impact of internet usage on
education has been increasing, and new technologies have been developing and
accelerating student learning. Technology creates new learning environments for
students. Therefore, distance online trainings have also become widespread. Technological
educational platforms such as Moodle have been formed. I would like to inform
you about Moodle. First of all, what is moodle?. Moodle is a free course
management system available to everyone. The most important feature is that it
is easy to use by everyone. The system works under both Windows and Linux
systems. Program is available in 70 languages in 150 countries. You can select
the languages which you want. Moodle is a great platform for people who are open
to learning anytime and anywhere. 
According to the article ‘’Using a Course Management System to Improve Classroom Communication’’ by Matthew Perkins and Jay Pfaffman, these
kinds of platforms enable teachers to
easily post assignments, lesson plans, announcements, and course documents.
They also allow students to participate in online discussions and chats and
turn in assignments online. Unfortunately, systems are often expensive to
purchase. An alternative is Moodle, a free, open-source software program that
not only provides a set of features similar to those of its proprietary
competitors but is often easier to use. Moodle provides teachers with a variety
of tools to support student learning and parental communication. So, how Moodle
changes teaching?. It makes education easier, because for students, managing
the course online prevents the usual misunderstandings about assignments, due
dates, and other course requirements, because they are online, important course
information and materials can never be “lost.” In conclusion, from authors’
point of view, Moodle provides students access to presentations and assignments,
and creates simple way for teachers to organize a class. Using an online
communication system can help to reduce distractions about learning, and
improve communication between colleagues, students, and parents.
