Reviews of Moodle

As a student...
Comments: I think it's something teachers love for practicality and time, but honestly I miss paper and pens to be in touch with the real world.
Pros:
I use moodle since covid, the favorite platform of the universities, at the beginning I found it complicated to use and manage, so it took me time to adapt to the system. Having to remember to log in to put attendance or delivery times stressed me a lot, but I got over it with time and accepted my destiny.
Cons:
I don't like that it only sends me notifications when it wants to and not what you ask it to ask for. I find it complicated to find my final grades, I am never clear about my score. On the other hand I hate that I don't have a lot of tolerance time to enter and that in a short time I leave the session.

Alternatives Considered:
A powerful, yet old tool
Comments: Moodle is a powerful tool. A good and unexpensive alternative. But even if you choose a modern theme it will feel old and ugly.
Pros:
Most powerful LMS in the market. No other tool has such a wide set of tools and customization options.
Cons:
Short answer: hard to use and the interface is horrible Long answer: - For the students: the interface is not user friendly at all. Messy, full of buttons and unnecessary information. The onboarding is tough for many. - For the teachers: it is hard to grasp all the basic functions and upload resources. There are few tools to make batch changes. Maintenance is a pain. - For IT: hard to deploy. It is the WP version of the LMS world, but tougher.
Not Worth It
Comments: Difficult to use, not user-friendly and with a poor user interface. It's just not the system for a college to use in the 2020s. May have made sense in the late 1990s, especially as remote learning is growing
Pros:
It includes some of the elements that a modern LMS system should, although that it not saying a lot considering how other systems operate
Cons:
Having used Blackboard, Angel, and Brightspace, Moodle is definitely in dead last. It is difficult to utilize and has aa system that just isn't worth it for a college or school considering something with ease of use for students and faculty
Alternatives Considered:
The best LMS platform
Pros:
I had the opportunity, to set, configure, and launch Moodle in my College, it was the best to the best on LMS, I tried many others, but chose Moodle by its unique features
Cons:
hardcoding functions sometime is the only way to extend features

Alternatives Considered:
The platform that makes virtual learning life easier
Comments: I have had a very good experience with the platform, it is excellent, I like the way the exams are assigned and the different forms of qualification that it offers us.
Pros:
It is an excellent platform, it is very easy to manage and administer the resources from it, students find it very easy to use and the resources are always available
Cons:
The platform is really very complete, but if you could add something it would be a way to hold virtual conferences directly with another app or for it to include it as other providers do.
