| Moodle MGScentral.org is a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). A VLE is a website that is designed to assist the teaching of students over the internet. This website uses a VLE called Moodle. |
Moodle is the most widely used free Open Souce VLE in the world. Over 15,000 websites use it to deliver course content. Moodle enables students to access a wide variety of resources, including: web pages, web links, uploaded MS Word & PowerPoint files, discussion forums, assignments, wikis and quizzes. The resources are added and used using a browser, and therefore courses can be created while the teacher is not on site at MGS.
Teachers at MGS are encouraged to add content and use all the features available within Moodle.
