Moodle has first mover advantage, but now there are many LMS that are easier to use
Comments: We used Moodle as an advanced certification platform. It has built-in features such as quiz, assignments, and course completion tracking that can be used to administer assessments and track student progress. Additionally, it was integrated with other tools such as e-signature and digital certificate provider to provide secure and verifiable certifications. Moodle allowed us to create custom certificates and badges, which can be awarded to students upon completion of specific courses or activities. Furthermore, Moodle's reporting and data analysis tools can be used to generate detailed reports and analytics on student performance and certification progress. With own modifications we created also a validation tool that can verify validity of issued certificate.
Pros:
+ Flexibility: Moodle is open-source and can be customized to individual user and institution needs.+ Support for different teaching methods: it allows for the creation of various educational activities and resources such as quizzes, discussion forums, assignments, etc.+ Integration with other tools: Moodle can easily be integrated with other educational tools such as chat, group work tools, video hosting platforms (we used Vimeo) and file transfer systems (but has also own file repository).+ Reporting and analysis: Moodle has advanced reporting and data analysis tools that allow for monitoring student progress and adapting teaching to needs.+ Accessibility: Moodle is available both as a web application and a mobile app, allowing for access to learning from anywhere and at any time. With external plugins and themes it is WCAG compatibile.
Cons:
- Learning curve: Moodle can have a steep learning curve for users who are not familiar with the platform or with e-learning in general, and it may take some time for users to become proficient in using all its features. Compared to Wiziq or WP Courseware - moodle is most complicated.- Limited design options: While Moodle does offer some customization options for its appearance, it may not be as flexible as some other learning management systems in terms of design and layout. It looks "oldish" and it is hard to find a good looking theme (with good UX/SEO/RWD/WCAG)- Limited multimedia support: Moodle may not have built-in support for all types of multimedia, such as video and audio. But there is a plenty of external plugins that may handle that.- Limited scalability: Moodle may not be the best option for large organizations or enterprises with high-traffic needs, as it may not be able to handle large numbers of users or large amounts of data. We need to do a MAJOR hosting upgrade to handle large certification groups (400-500 in the same time).- Lack of support for mobile devices: While Moodle has a mobile app, its support for mobile devices is not as comprehensive as some other LMSs. I think that better option would be PWA but im not sure how/when they will support this.- Support and maintenance: As open-source software, Moodle does not have a dedicated technical support team and users may need to rely on community forums or hire experts to help with any technical issues.

Free and Open-Source Learning Management System, flexible but not too much.
Comments: Moodle can be used to solve a wide range of business problems related to employee training and development, online education and e-learning, collaboration and communication, corporate compliance, and employee performance tracking and evaluation.
Pros:
Centralized access to course materials.Variety of interactive and engaging activities, such as quizzes, forums, and wikis.Allows teachers to track student progress and performance, with features such as gradebook and progress tracking.Moodle's built-in tools for communication and collaboration, such as forums and messaging, can be used to facilitate online discussions and group work, even when students are not in the same physical location.Moodle can be integrated with other business systems, such as HR and payroll systems, or with online meeting tools.Moodle provides APIs and web services to allow external systems to interact with it, but this requires technical expertise to set up and may require additional development and customisation.
Cons:
Moodle is generally considered to be easy to use for administrators, teachers and students, but there are some aspects of the platform that can be more difficult for certain users.For administrators:The initial setup and configuration of Moodle can be complex and time-consuming, particularly for those unfamiliar with the platform.Customising and extending Moodle's features and functionality can require technical expertise and development skills that not all administrators may have.Moodle's reporting and analysis features may be limited for some administrators and may require additional customisation and development to meet their specific needs.For teachers:Creating and organising online course materials can take time and effort.Creating and managing online assessments and quizzes can be complex and time-consuming, especially for writing questions and gradebooks for automated grading.For learners:Some of the interactive activities and resources may be more challenging for some students to use, particularly for those who are not familiar with the platform.Moodle's reporting and analytics features may be limited for some students, and they may require additional customization and development to meet specific needs.There is no possibility to adapt the learning experience to specific needs or to the real-time grade.These difficulties can be overcome providing training and support for users, which will be the only cost of the software besides the infrastructure.
