What is Moodle?

Moodle is a course management system (CMS) - a free, Open Source software package designed using sound pedagogical principles, to help educators create effective online learning communities. You can download and use it on any computer you have handy (including webhosts), yet it can scale from a single-teacher site to a University with 200,000 students.

I attended a two hour Webinar this afternoon - one of 90 attendees from across the world. Really quite amazing to think that so many people from different countries and timezones were communicating and learning all at the same time. An open source programme "Ellumuniate" was used to facilitate the Webinar. We were able to ask questions via voice or text, chat with each other, raise our hands, clap, take notes and at the end either print or save the whole presentation.

The topic was MOODLE, also an open source eLearning or to use the technical name "Course Management System".
