Installing the Moodle Virtual Learning Environment on Ubuntu Linux
What is Moodle?
Moodle is commonly referred to as a virtual learning environment (VLE), and is extremely useful for educational institutions. It allows teachers to setup their course materials electronically so that students can then involve themselves virtually with all aspects of it. Materials can be put in almost any format imaginable, be it videos, exam papers, podcasts or normal written lectures. And since it is interactive, users can leave feedback and communicate with each other through many means, including chat rooms, blogs, wikis, and forums. For a full list of features, visit: www.moodle.org
