"Moodle"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Open LMS?

It is a great way for people to collaborate with each other. It is also a great way for Teachers to teach a classroom of students online. We can give polls to the students, split them into groups for collaboration, and chat with them in a chat box. There are also many features the students can use with the teachers, such as raising their digital hand to ask a question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

Some features are difficult to find on it, such as the "away" sign and the hand signals. I also wish the polling on the Moodlerooms was easier to send out to students. I wish there was also an option to prevent students from unmuting themselves without permission. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Open LMS:

If u need easy and effective collaboration, then use this LMS. It provides a great way for you to reach a wide-network of people located in various regions of the state. I believe it is the most useful when teaching others in a classroom environment. It is also very fun to use. This is mostly because of its minor capabilities - such as being able to use a chat box for side conversations, break out rooms for partner or group conversations, polls to evaluate opinions, and icons to let the teacher know each student's needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Open LMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main problems we face are simply with schools being able to provide computers and other ways for students to access the Moodlerooms. It's benefits include being able to reach a wide-spread network of schools all around Arkansas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Use of Moodlerooms as an educator"

4/5

What do you like best about Open LMS?

The instructions are pretty easy to follow for designing a course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

It is not easily compatible with an iPad and the Moodle App has not been useful for students as it is hard to use with assignments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Open LMS:

It is easy to use with a PC. There are a variety of assignment types and assessments that can be used to provide a well rounded course. It is not easy, however, for students to upload large files. I have had graduate students assigned to post lectures but they have not been able to upload them as a student. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Open LMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

It was used to improve student learning at the college. It has provided us with a centralized means of introducing content and assessments to all students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Moodle on steroids"

2.5/5

What do you like best about Open LMS?

How fast it behaves, in comparison to a plain moodle deployment. You can have a full working environment in a few days -most of them are taken by bureaucracy- without the need of deploying your own Moodle in your bare-metal servers.. Keep it simple and deploy fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

There are some options that are unavailable and have to wait for the next major update (each 6 months), like any sort of custom development outside of the system connection boundaries (LTI, websockets, etc). Anyway, this is the direction all major LMS are heading to: SaaS deployment and external applications without any connection to the LMS core, against the old inner plugin approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Open LMS:

If you like how a plain Moodle works, want to have quick and fast, and are not eager to implement any complex customizations, this is your product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Open LMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's a quick way to sell a Moodle environment to a client without having to mantain the hardware infrastructure or taking care at all. Moodlerooms practically turns Moodle into a SaaS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Learning with Moodle"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Open LMS?

I like that the classes are online and you can take them at your leisure! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

Nothing that I can think of, except having the option to pause, save, and resume at a later time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Open LMS:

If you're looking for consistent online training for your employees, Moodle is definitely an option to consider. Their site is very user friendly. As far as pricing, however, I was not privy to this information, just a user! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Open LMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

No problems that I have personally experienced. Benefits that my school district has experienced is the ability to give the same training to all of their staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Lost information, not a Moodle Fan"

0/5

What do you like best about Open LMS?

Moodle theoretically works great but I struggled when I used it. There were quite a few technical challenges and a lot of times I needed to replicate information and recreate what had been done sometimes several times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

I had to recreate a number of modules and had issues with information disappearing or not showing up correctly. Many times students would need access to information and could not see it. Additionally students would not be able to see information I had posted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Moodle was tough on my noodle"

0/5

What do you like best about Open LMS?

There was not any characteristic that I liked. It was very difficult and well see comments under dislike. I in my defense did not use the program often or for a very extended period of time. Probably would have hopefully gotten more easy with use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

Well it would be easier to say what I like about it. Nothing. Its complicated confusing. Pointless. There are lots of programs out there that are so much easier to use. Userfriendly. This is not one of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Open LMS:

Please don't Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Open LMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Not business related per say. Educational wise. Yes. Some of the teachers I work with like this. I first was introduced to moodle for the classroom when I was in a college teacher education class. Not a fan. But Im an older professional so there could be bias because of that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple enough for novices with enough features for most users"

4/5

What do you like best about Open LMS?

Moodlerooms has enough support and is intuitive enough that a novice should not have trouble using it, while at the same time providing enough features that most users will be satisfied with their experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

The only problems I have ever encountered with Moodlerooms occurred when professors would attempt to schedule modules in advance and occasionally the modules would be missing. 9 times out of 10 this was user error, rather than the program. Anything else that went wrong, the support was easily able to resolve in a timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
