Moodle Reviews 31

It works, it's funtional. It's a great platform. Only thing that's missing is an inbuilt dark mode.

I am using moodle for 13 years. It is designed to waste space and - even worse - it is designed to waste time.
Even after 13 years, nothing comes intuitive, it is constructed to cause problems (a grade typed in can be changed by moving the cursor, or a comment written needs to be separately saved instead getting saved when you press the button "save" at the bottom of the page. These are just two of severl dozen issues with moodle that make working with it a chore. Those how program it seem not to use it. Just alone that you always have to press the "edit" button to change anything. And when you do - you do not stay at the location you wanted to work on but always jump to the beginning of the page. Then you have to press "edit" at least two more times before you can edit anything. It is a rididulous tedious twisted platform. I will not miss it should I ever be able to use something else.

Outdated. Extremely poor UI. Navigating and using this cesspit really takes any joy out of life. As a MA student having used moodle for 4 years now, I am genuinely shocked by how widely used this 'learning' platform is. It feels like an unfinished school project that somehow made its way onto the awards stage and received a gold medal, yet it deserves nothing but the dumpster. It took me longer to figure out how to use moodle than it did to drive a car. Moodle's structure is confusing, cluttered. Accessibility to resources and materials is poor. Assessment submission points are terrible. Nothing is clearly headed or structured, just a mess of a platform called moodle. Updates are non-existant. Should have been left behind in the middle ages. Overall, 3/10. Genuinely, avoid.

I use Moodle on and off for courses. It’s great that it supports a lot - quizzes, forums, file uploads, group work. When it works, having everything in one place is really handy.
But there are some annoying bits. The interface feels old and confusing, especially after updates. Menus hide what you need, and simple tasks like uploading files or grading take too many clicks. On mobile, it’s even slower and clunky.
Notifications can be delayed or sometimes don’t come at all. And if your internet is slow, Moodle gets sluggish. Sometimes it’s hard to tell what’s done and what isn’t because navigation isn’t obvious.
Overall, Moodle gets the job done, but it’s not smooth. If you have patience and don’t mind little frustrations, it works. For frequent use, it could definitely be much better.

Simply the worst for college students. Super hard to navigate and lacks the simplest of things such as links between different apps and messaging reminders. You'd think that they'd have figured these out in this day and age LOL

Best social media company in the whole wide world 🌍 Meghan who set up this company is a close personal friend of mine. We first met working in Fenwick’s of Newcastle (a department store 🏬 in Newcastle).

Terrible experience! Extremely difficult to use and makes the process of university 10000x more tedious. The new update made the interface even worse, I am in UTTER DISBELIEF that as students we pay so much money to be offered a beyond sub par service and to add salt to the wound the lecturers and academic staff have lots of issues with Moodle too! The monopoly that Moodle holds on the UK education system is a disgrace and should no doubt be looked into by the relevant regulatory bodies. Moodle has caused me nothing but distress throughout my time at university and I could not recommend it less!

We are a learning institution, that uses Moodle every day since the last 8 years. Moodle is a good platform with many important and intuitive functions, but after they performed a major update there were many beginners mistakes:

1.
Every time you change something - and that is what we do a number of times a day, the cursor jumps to the top of the page, which is just a pain, as you will have to scroll all the way back down again to the right spot. This was not the case before their major update ca. 2 years ago and could be solved in 5 minutes by a programmer, but they won't do it. I asked about it multiple times and nobody can be bothered.

2.
If you need help, you used to be able to send an email to support and usually they got back with you quite timely, but not anymore. I have to chat to an AI and then fill out a web form, which makes it more difficult to add screenshots (you can screenshot from the webform, but it screenshots its own page. did anybody think about that :-( ).

3.
Sometimes links go awry. At the moment we cannot work with Moodle to onboard our students, because the links are all messed up. Every link I click lands in at the wrong page. We cannot work and the messages I sent through their fantastic AI and web form will be answered in 48 hours apparently. That is 48 hours without being able to work.

Pros: you don't have to host the platform yourself
Cons: you are at the mercy of these people

Completed a online course 3 times over and still says 85 % complete, contacted support numerous times with no response !

Moodle very very slow in Europe this morning

MOODLE is easy to configure, and user-friendly, very intuitive with many options for gamification.

after the new update i want to hang myself everytime i open the website, pure cancer.

How is this the default virtual learning environment (VLE) it looks like it's from the 80's and it's so unorganised. This VLE mainly complicates learning instead of helping it's a hindrance to every student

Good, simplistic and fast!

Literally worst site ever. basically crashes every day lol
