Moodle is an open-source learning management system (LMS) that provides Immaculata University with a single, robust, secure, and integrated system that allows the classroom to extend onto a collaborative online learning environment.
Moodle delivers course content and an extensive set of learner-centric tools through a simple interface that empower student learning, whether by augmenting traditional learning methods through hybrid courses or replacing face-to-face classes with flexible online instruction.
Moodle, which is an acronym for Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment, is web-based and so can be accessed by students from anywhere in the world. With a default mobile-compatible interface and cross-browser compatibility, content on the Moodle platform is easily accessible and consistent across different web browsers, operating systems, and devices.
Moodle is similar to many other Learning Management Systems you may have used in the past, such as Canvas, Blackboard or D2L. Here at Immaculata (IU) we use Moodle as our main learning platform.
We are fortunate at IU to have a customized version of Moodle designed specifically to fit our student's unique needs. Users are highly encouraged to scroll through the mini-course below. It is a great place to start and is intended to provide you with the fundamental knowledge and skills to most effectively utilize Immaculata University's Learning Management System, or 'LMS'.
